Many of us would love to become more self sufficient. The reality is that for some, it never gets past the dreaming stage. If you really do wish to become more self sufficient then the time to start is now.
Ask yourself what you can do to start being less dependent on the nine to five and to be able to gradually move away from having to buy everything that makes your world run.
Self Sufficient living relies heavily on cutting back on anything that is an unnecessary expense. If you want to gradually cut the hours you work for other people and live more from what you can produce then you need to make a start.
There are a few things you can do immediately to cut your spending and start down the road to having more time to devote to having a more self sufficient lifestyle.
Stop using so much Electricity. Turn everything off when not in use.
Stop using so much water. Never leave taps running, use a composting toilet, recycle when possible. Just ensure you cut your water bills dramatically.
Keep Chickens. Birds are cheap to keep, don't need much room and will save a lot of money on the purchase of eggs.
Most importantly, grow your own vegetables. Why pay for food when you can get it for free?
Growing Vegetables can save you an absolute fortune. Use the back yard, a friends piece of land or an allotment. However you do it make sure you do. Hunt around until you can find some land to use if you don't have your own and start growing. You will be amazed how much you can grow in a small space.
Growing your own food is one of the best ways to save a vast amount of money and begin down the path of self reliance.
