There was so much shame for both me and my husband when we finally sat down and added up our debt...but then we made a plan. A thousand times, thank you BOTH for such beautiful inspiration and encouragement. The wife set us on this journey almost 9 months ago…eternally grateful doesn’t cover it.

It's not about HOW much you grow, it is the fact that you are growing. I'm not going to take care of all of my family's needs, I'm too lazy for that. It is the process and the feeling that you can provide some from the earth for your family that makes the difference. And if you want to see how much you can produce in a tiny space, (I would never go this far) check out the Dervaes Family Farm in LA (google it). Dad…

I cannot wait to be as financially free as you are @Long Distance Bubby - Ah... I love it. If you knew how small our backyard is (I've seen pix of yours!) you would laugh. For a long time. Then you would take a deep breath, snort, and laugh some more. But I agree. @Dustinc109 - We love it! You always have a home here, friend. @Sharon – You guys are inspiring too!

Think about it over the entire existence of man, what 10,000 years, only for the last 100 years or so have we not been intimate with the earth in some way. Small scale gardening, hunting, living with the seasons. We have citified ourselves too much. We need to reconnect in smaller towns and villages and get to know and thrive with the land. It will help with the soul. /philosophy Beer too…. but I meant the earth, living closer to and thriving from the earth.

What was it that made our ancestors thrive? Beer! @jpkittie - You had a better October than we did by far! You paid down, what, $1,300? Awesome. @Kelsalynn - They should name a Crossfit workout after you. @Stacie - Go get 'em. You are the bargain queen. @Music Man - :::highfive::: @Money Funk - Incredible note, isn't it. So cool. You, of course, were one of our inspirations! Cheers, all. Thank you, everyone, for the very kind words!
