Impossible for me, too. I can forsee a day, when my mortgage is paid off,
when I can make the money I need from selling what I raise. I think the
biggest difference between me and 'hobby' homesteaders is that I can (even
with my mortgage) live on very little money (relative to the rest of the
country, anyway). I know others living around me in their McMansions who
need 2 good incomes just to get by. I saw a piece on the news with some guy
whining that he can't live on unemployment...it was more than twice what I
live on. I have to scrape up every penny to pay the bills, but if I ever
get an outside job, even minimum wage, I'll feel rich :-)
