I live very close to the edge.
One of the reasons we moved here was so that we would hurt
less if something like this happened. We would be able to be
more self sufficient and less dependent on commerce.
I've always been more of a wannabe, but it ki
looks like my practice will soon be put to the test. If Beckhttp://lists.ibiblio.org/mailman/options/homestead/bobford79%40yahoo.com
is right, and we are looking into the pit of the Great
Depression then I may not be a list member much longer. I
consider internet connectivity a luxury. I also consider
my television a luxury. Those two things will be the first
to go. Then, it will be the phone. Finally, power. In
a worst case scenario, it will take everything we can do to
make the mortgage should DH lose his job. If there is no
credit, then folks won't be buying too many cars, or
fixing them at the dealership. I'm not sure what we
would do....obviously, he'd do some shadetree work,
woodworking, etc., but is that enough to save the farm if
there is no regular income? I could rent the pasture
out..clean houses or whatever...
What about you all?
