Do your needs keep your nose to the grindstone? Do you feel
like you are a captive to the 9 to 5 lifestyle? Do you feel
like it is a treadmill from which there is no hope of rescue?
Do you dream of a life without bosses, in which you would grow
or make everything you would need for living? Like to live out
in the clean air and good country like the pioneers did on
their homesteads? Have you wondered if it would really be
possible and practical to live in a totally self-sufficient way
like this?
Image: Living a self-sufficient life out in the country.
Living in a house you built yourself; growing your own food;
raising some chickens, geese, rabbits, goats and perhaps
some other livestock; selling some of your produce for
pocket cash. Out of the rat race with no bosses to put up
with, no frustrating commutes in rush hour traffic, no rent
payments to make.
Q. To what extent is the above image a practical possibility?
To what extent is it just an impractical, unachievable pipe
dream? What would be the drawbacks to this kind of life?
How idyllic would such a life be?
