True. He is not a homesteader, but for years he helped. I'm not either. I
just like to garden, really. I don't want to kill animals, but I like to
support local farmers and purchase their meat. I like to write and read and
have a job, so I don't have the time for homesteading. I'm actually learning
to trade the forex with a great software program so that in 2-3 years that's
what I'll do full-time and it will take 10 hours a week. So, I still dabble
with numbers and probably will always be interested in the economy. I can
here and there. I freeze lots of stuff. Husband and I are a real team, but
we have learned that we will never be homesteaders, but more important, we
don't aim to be any longer though we're still going to have a great late
summer & fall garden.

No common model for all. Yours is as good as anyone's. Many find the old homestead model too limiting, including me.
