How empowering to build your own house. That's a skill every human should have. There'd be far less mortgages and more liberated people. Mortgage actually translates to "death pledge." How crazy is that?!

I agree, I am so close to being mortgage free, but then again I am relatively old. LOL

Age ain't nothin but a number! Congrats on almost being there!

it's been a long battle, especially doing it on my own since my husband passed and left me with 3 kids under 13, but hey your right age is just a number. Thanks for the kind words

Wow, it sounds like you've been through so much. You are an inspiring human! Be well, glad to be connected on here.

Thank you, Foodisfree, what a great name. I am a homesteader, so I advocate for the concept of freefood. what is the driving force of your name?

Awesome to meet fellow homesteaders on here! I started a project called Food is Free Project. After planting a front yard garden and realizing how much I interacted with neighbors, I had a vision wondering what it'd be like if a whole block had front yard gardens.

I felt the call and got together with neighbors and friends and we built raised bed gardens out of salvaged wooden pallets and within 3 months, 19 of the 30 houses on our block had a front yard garden.

The idea was that we could swap harvests with each other to build community. After blogging about it, the project went open source and I encouraged others to take our ideas and make them better.

Now over 350 cities around the world have started Food is Free Projects and are growing and sharing food with #foodisfree to spread the inspiration. :)

Wow. That is just absolutely amazing. I would love to start this in my town. I live in a small town so it is filled with gardeners and homesteaders and farmers. Upvoted and re steemed. Thanks

Thats fucking amazing, where is that post?! haha

yeah you gotta hit it hard, and smart. I just turned 30, now its on to working on other aspects of life! One step at a time, keep your priorties set and dedicate like a master and anything is possible

Amazing words of encouragement, just what I needed to hear. I am working so hard to attain my dream of buying land, but keeping a balance of having 3 kids, 2 of which are in University. I am doing this on my own. Thank you, gotta love STEEMIT just for people like you, thanks for the smile
