    Who here is truly self-sufficient?

    Who on this board is truly (close to 100% anyway) self-sufficient? Meaning, are you so self-sufficient that you do not work outside the home at all? Or even, if your spouse does work outside the home, are you able to save so much money living self-sufficiently that you yourself don't need to...

    Where do you live and how does that help/hinder self-sufficiency?

    Sorry if I offended anyone in Ontario by assuming it's cold there! I actually have a ton of aunts, uncles and cousins (in the greenhouse business) that live in Ontario. I guess I've always kept my visits to them in the warmer months, as I don't recall any winter trips to see them, ever. I...
