How Can You Homestead With No Money?Read the article this discussion is about
This archived discussion is "read only".
» Aviella - Great topic! this is a great topic, Gloria. I took a course in "voluntary simplicity" a couple of years ago, and your article reminded me of some decisions I made then, for doing things like cutting down on the chemicals in my household and foregoing the daily paper. Small changes, but important ones. I look forward to reading more.-- Terrie -- posted by Aviella » Gloria_Morris - Re: Great topic! Thank you, Terrie! I hope that I can provide some insight on what country life is like, from a simple living point of view, and maybe even inspire people to examine their own lifestyles and their impact upon the environment and the society around them.-- posted by Gloria_Morris » Gloria_Morris - Re: Retirement is only a few years off Thank you, JB! Of course, you realize that passing along your "stuff" to your kids only complicates their lives! ;-) Actually, depending on the ages of the kids, it can save them a lot of money, not acquiring things for themselves.Good luck in your retirement planning. -- posted by Gloria_Morris » lauraphillips - Great topic, great article Great job, Gloria. I'm overdue for my annual "simplicity assessment, and this was a good reminder for me.Laura Phillips -- posted by lauraphillips » cmryor - Great Topic! Hi Gloria,I love this topic idea.
