In February when we got our tax returns back I purchased 10,000 meal worms, putting about 5,000 aside for our breeding colony and to feed to our two bearded dragons. Before we did that we only had about 250 beetles producing. Now we've got a few thousand and it grows. We've already pulled out...

I'll have to look into the book for sure. Sorry I've been MIA, busy busy around the house. We've been trying to come up with a plan because the fact is without two incomes (two very good incomes) we wont be able to afford to buy our own place anytime soon. Right now my SO is working night shift...

Yeah just check with the county. I know in unincorporated pierce county you can live in your rv but you have to pay some fee of like $125 for what I want to call a lot pass. Our rent where we are is high and while I know I can live somewhere else for cheaper, my land lord lets me do whatever as...

My fiance and I are trying to work out some sort of plan. I'm sure most people are in the same boat as me where you didn't come into or come from a family with a lot of money. At 30 years old I'm reaching a point in my life where whats gotta be done has gotta be done. So there's this job that a...

Ok well I guess I can't say I don't like it because I haven't looked into it. I just don't like the new math system they set up making everything more difficult with more steps. I will have to look into what you're talking about with going to school for a class. Of course I have three years to...

What do you mean he attends 2 classes at public elementary? Like he goes to the school for a couple classes and then comes home? I've heard about the virtual schooling before. The alternative high schools made them popular with all the high school drop outs. I really don't like that core...

First and foremost, I really haven't done much research into homeschooling because I've been really caught up in a lot of life changes so please bear with me as I'm still learning. My son is almost 2 years old and with all the things that have been popping up on the news of children in schools...

I'm really interested to see an update on this. I'd really like to homeschool my son but I don't know if I'm going to be able to

Me Me Me! In the not so rural city of Tacoma. :he

Day jobs where you stand on the corner and get work are typically found on the corners of big retail hardware stores. Our local pick up place is Home Depot. It's kinda annoying but it's there. Also look up temp agencies that offer day to day work. Ours here is called Labor Ready. Don't know if...

I haven't gotten to a point where I can say anything I'm doing is a business. I do have meal worms that I'm producing and sell to help supplement my growing hobbies. I would love to stay at home and home school my son but I just don't see that happening right now. My SO works for Amazon and...

They are out there, I actually intend on looking into it in a few years to get us started in our first place. Contact counties you'd like to live in and ask for tax foreclosure information. In most counties that means you pay for whatever three years of back taxes are plus their...

Thanks everyone. Yeah I've just started my SS journey and oh goodness is it hard to change old habits. So many struggles right now between wanting to stay home with my son and working a full time job for one.

Part of the problem is we rent this place so anything I do has to be non-evasive and when I move almost has to appear to never been there... Makes it difficult to do anything. We've thought about moving to eastern wa because land is cheaper to buy over there. I've gone there a few times. We...

My dad and his girlfriend were pretty SS about 18 years ago but we lost that when they split up. While I still talk to her every once in a while, that is pretty much lost to me. I've always wanted to go back. In 2010 I started doing research. I do a lot of reasearch but the actual step into...

frustratedearthmother I responded to you but its "awaiting mod approval"

I was actually already a member of the livestock one. I signed up for that one back when I signed up for the chicken site. I had cows and horses back then. A lot of things have happened sense then.

Yes. I actually have this same username through all four of the sites now... because I got bored and went on them all.

That's a long list :lol: Right now I'm trying to learn about gardening and livestock. I have some very basic knowledge but I'd like to learn more about organic practices and gardening in small spaces. I have started researching heritage breeds and have found a few I like and would be interested...

Hello everyone!!!!!!!!! Super excited to be here! No I'm not normally this ecstatic but YAY! I found this place! Five years ago I started poking around with the idea of becoming self sufficient but didn't know where to turn. Five years later, I still have no idea but here I am! So excited! I...
