I owe some people (notably @einebiene ) an update on our quest for a #minimalist #selfsufficient and #offthegrid life. Angel and I went down to the TX Hill Country again in search of decent land. The land there is good for ranching but not much for farming. As much as I want to be there I am beginning to doubt that it will happen. Which is OK, it costs way too much to live there since the yuppies discovered it a few years ago. As far as progress on cleaning up our lives since the last update- not much has happened. I have spent too much of my time trying to stay ahead of the money so I haven't made much progress on my personal life change or on our familial life change. We were talking over the weekend and we have about reached the decision that we just need to sell off everything except for our clothes, computers, and kitchen stuff and start over again. In spite of our current money situation we are ahead of the game financially speaking. So our idea could work.
