We have a garden, backyard chickens, and build or fix anything that we need to. We still work corporate day jobs, but are working to eventually leave the 9-5 lifestyle in favor of a self-built, debt-free, homestead on 6 acres nearby. We upload a YouTube video every Saturday night at 7️⃣pm EST, and post daily on Instagram!
