Subject: [permaculture] The Long Emergency and Financial Planning
Date: Thu, 4 Jan 2007 14:30:05 -0500
Hello folks,
I've been reading the entries for 8 months or so with great interest
and have learned a lot. Now, it's time for me to post a question. My
husband and I are shaping our future homestead via permaculture
principles as a result of our reading _The Long Emergency_, _Power
Down_ and other peak oil literature. We also bring to our adventure a
deep love of the land, farming and a commitment to sustainable
practices. Our biggest conundrum right now is how to approach
financial planning including investing and subsistence living in the
face of a "long emergency." We live in the Southeastern USA: North
Carolina. I wonder how others are shaping their financial futures at
this time. What kind of trends do people foresee?
Thanks so much for sharing all your experience, wisdom and information.
