Now I have an orchard and although we eat what we want, the main focuss is selling fruit. So you can say that I am not a homesteader. I have also tried homesteading without any outside income and I can tell you, at least for me, it was >impossible.
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 :-)
