where to start-part one

Start at the basics.  Evaluate your current financial situation.  List your debts-list your assets.  If you have debt what can you do about it?  Talk to your family.  The number one thing I could recomend to anyone is have your housing situation covered.  Are you living in an area that promotes the kind of independent life style you seek?  Ideally your looking at a rural location-someplace out of town with some kind of land to use.  Keep it simple-this probably won't be what you would like to have but is workable.  This is no easy task.  Trust me I remember all too well that moment.  It seemed impossible to me.  But - It's not.  There is tons of reasons you can think about "How this won't work."  I know I thought about them all.  It's tough.  But the truth is It can work.  So do your best to keep the emotions in check and figure out exactly what and how you can do it.  Write it all down.  Any ideas or possibilities at this point could be an option.  Remember this is all just on paper at this point--your not making final decisions....your evaluating your options.  Ask yourself what is the bare minimum I would have to have to sustain my family.  How can this work attitude!  Keep in mind your not building your dream house and dream life (that will come later-LOL)---your evaluating your options--be real.  It is possible.

This is exactly what we have been doing!!!!

We wish housing markets were better and we could sell this home, and move into the country. But for now, we feel God is telling us to stay here and wait for the country in a few years down the road. We love our home!!! We just wish we didn't live so close to our 20 something neighbors who seem to have no respect for others. It is our dream to live in the country, but we will have to work hard towards that.

God's Blessings,
