We left our elite suburb to move to a small farming community and closed down our business....in our 60's!...It's never too late to start and learn. We learn new things every day, as do our nearby friends who have homesteaded for decades. I pray God will give you revelation in each step you take, and trust in Him. I love Country Living Experience because my husband and I can relate to everything he talks about. We started out small and stayed small. But we are purposing to do things like make our own medications, naturally. We turned out part of our home/property as income. As you go along, you will realize how resourceful you can be for many things. Don't wait, start now, start small but start with anything. Even if it's growing something for food, whether inside your house or outside if you're in a "warm year round" climate. Enjoy!
@@medemamarble8982 thank you for your encouragement. I’m trusting things will show themselves at the right time. Been wanting a small home and little property and praying for over a year. Back in my hometown after 6 yrs - something I said I wouldn’t ever do! Lol. However feel I am here for a reason. Trusting God. Blessings to you🙏🏻💕
Melodyfordham7878, I'm 68 & I feel the same way. I live on the edge of a medium size town. I have a good-sized yard with a beautiful 12'x16' chicken coop & a small greenhouse. My old house is paid for & I drive an old '06 Ford Explorer. I don't owe a penny for anything, thankfully. I have 6 hens, 2 meat rabbits & a rescue bunny & 3 rescue dogs. I have a garden. My oldest son works 2 miles from my house & it's only a couple of blocks out of his way to stop by. He buys all of my rabbit & chicken feed & I provide their treats. My youngest son lives just 2 blocks away. He's right here if I need anything, too. He just bought a small piece of land 7 miles out of our town. He's putting a shop on it with the hopes of someday being able to build a small home out there. My friend lives catty-corner to that property & she has 5 acres. My life has been perfect for me the way it is, but I've still never stopped dreaming of living in the country. I grew up in the country. I know the peace of the country life. God told me in a dream to "Stay put" 10 years ago, which I did. I got my house & vehicle paid for, & have both boys close by. Now I feel like it might be the right time for a change. I will keep praying, too. There has to be a way! I'm wishing you all the best, & praying for you to find a way, also. God Bless!
I think one big problem is that people dont learn from the past. It's seriously easy to get caught up in your own little world of problems and not be able to see the "big picture". I have friends that grew up so poor they didn't even know there was a depression happening, but they came through it just fine. During WW2 "they" encouraged every family to have a victory garden. Open your eyes and your bibles and learn.
I have gotten a little lax. Thanks for the kick in the tush. We bought a new truck. CRAZY idea. Had it a few months. My husband did not feel like it was the right thing to do. He called the dealership and they bought it back from him. He than bought a ‘76 pick up that he can work on. No computers. We just did a remodel of the kitchen and were able to eat out of the pantry and not the restaurants. But, the pantry is low. Gotta get her back stocked. Again, thanks for the reminder. Got too comfy.
We felt the urge to get out of the city 3 years ago. We left our 5000 sq ft house and fancy jobs and moved to a little house on 2 acres in the country. Trying to get our grown children out of the city now. Thank you for this video. It reaffirms to me what we are doing is on track.

Debt free. Paid off the house, the same starter home I bought in the 90's, over a decade ago. Bought my last car for cash, well not literal cash, but wrote a check. I pay the credit card in full every month. I have about 4 years expenses in CDs, savings and checking. And that's not all, but won't go into more details. Frugal and free and thankful for what I have. Less than a year to go to punch out of the job and retire. Going to get enough land for a much bigger garden and to have room for a chicken tractor and hen house. Cut firewood. I'm burnt out on the filth that Seattle has become. It was so nice in the 80's and 90's - no more.
I have children, now in the workforce, who are looking at getting their own homes or apartments. Their friends either have two jobs or give up on working entirely, due to the cost of living. They nearly panic because they feel strangled financially at the age of 20. It's a shame that the powers that be are putting the American people under such duress.
I work for a large corp with minimum debt. The executives told us that shareholder groups are requiring ESG but so are some clients. So it is not up to the executives in other words or due to the banks or debtholders. Stock is not debt but it does allow a spot on the board if you own enough shares. Vanguard, blac krock, etc can be these types of groups with large share positions to call the shots. As an engineer I am now directed to come up with projects to reduce carbon for example in emmisions. This company is very conservative as well but their hands are tied if they want to stay a public company.
Thank God my husband and I moved out here and bought our two acres with our fixer upper (cash) in 2018 because I don’t think I could afford the price much less the property taxes Texas has. Another gift was being able to show the tax assessor’s office what a mess it was and they lowered its value down to 50k. You better believe all the future improvements will be on the inside with very modest outside improvements so they can’t raise those taxes to the “current day evaluation” that isn’t protected by the homestead exemption. We’ve been living in a shed to house while we fix up the house as we save for the improvements. It’s slow going but we are slave to no lender this way. I hope people take heed and listen to your council but to many you are just like Noah preaching in the wilderness. Keep using that platform the Lord gave you, some may heed your warnings and others who have will be encouraged by them. Have a beautiful and blessed day! Can’t believe those car payments prices ouch! Don’t have those either, praise God!
Got a house note and a school loan left to pay off and then we will be debt-free. Finally got a little savings going. We've been raising rabbits and chickens and working a couple of gardens to save extra. Just want to tell everyone it is possible to get out of debt and create a homestead too. The secret is to just start somewhere and keep going!
My wife and I have been debt free for a long time. When we did take out a loan we paid it off as fast as we could. Paid our home off in 7 years (30 year loan). We recently purchased 65 acres of property (paid cash) in Tn to begin our homestead life. I’ll be 60 in January and ready to get that ball rolling.
Proverbs 13:4 - “The soul of the lazy man desires, and has nothing; but the soul of the diligent shall be made rich.” Eric you are SO right about just getting started and doing it ! I think we tend to wait too long, then turn around and say uh-oh ! By then it'll be too late.
Yes! It's not about "Alarmist" it's reality like history of DEBT Cycle!! SO many Distractions (like ur chickens😂) but actually modern easy to get conveniences so most people are deceived to stay in 'corporate made comforts' sold as " Get it today! Pay later!"🎉 Oh and you will pay More later.☠️.💸 Like you mentioned, the former US 'Middle Class' HAD money from Saving 1st...many 'oldtimers' I was raised by... who went thru Great Depression would ONLY pay cash only after they had saved💰 for months or years to AVOID credit, i.e Compounding Interest (old Test. 'Usery')! Get Independent 🌻🗽
Paying attention to economics is why my husband and I started keeping chickens and planting our garden. We have been fine tuning what our soil is good for the last two years as well as how we want to take care of our flock. I truly appreciate your videos as well as your Christian world view that we share. Homesteading in any capacity isn't about "doomsday" ideas as many think. It's about being self sufficient and taking care of our families as we wait for our faith to become sight. The End Times are real and we must do what we can to take care of each other, spread the Word, and stand strong.
This is your best video ever IMHO. I don't know why I stopped getting notifications for your videos but it dawned on my I am not seeing you so I am going through many of them I missed now. I actually moderate for Nobody Special and Financial Prepper who I would say are a part of what we tend to call Ninja Nation. Travis at Economic Ninja is awesome too. The only thing I might have added is consider precious metals but everyone needs to do what is best for them and first is sustainability to the best of each person's ability and OMG YES GET OUT OF DEBT FIRST. I am grateful for those who are the real deal and I know you live what you speak. Great job and may God bless and keep you brother. ❤🙏
Very kind of you! Thank you! I didn't know you moderated for Financial Prepper....very cool. Travis is a great guy, doing so many great services for everyone. Financial, firefighting, etc. Metals are great....love their stability, etc. God bless you and your family as well!
you know i not gunna lie I'm suprised on how much im randomly finding christian channels afte, I fell deep in my catholic faith. don't know if you gunna read this but👍love it
I see comments in this video as well as countless others where people have been called crazy or eccentric for stocking up on food. That accusation is illogical. Not preparing for possible outcomes is insanity. Don't be offended by people who accuse you of this. They will come to you for help when it gets ugly, which I expect over the next year or so.
Those little pigs running in the back are adorable. My wife works for a large bank and we don't take out any loans. We save and pay outright. And we don't keep cash in the bank.
Heard a story through a chain of people, but a reliable chain, about why the housing market is disconnected from most else. I know there's a lot going on, but I do think this is relevant. Essentially, someone was talking to their friend in real estate, and they said they were going to wait until the prices went down. The real estate agent said "Its not going to go down, because these properties are the only viable investment hedge for people living in countries that have no security or law. Its where they store their wealth, and how they set up their escape route. They will keep buying forever, because they cant really own anything where they live." Thanks for your thoughts and perspective. Something to consider.
I have many friends in both commercial and residential real estate and they have never mentioned anything like what you are talking about. I follow many real estate channels and they have never mentioned anything like that either. I know the US allows foreign investment in property but not sure how many around the world can afford to buy a second property here. We also have a shortage of housing currently which contributes to the higher costs.
The relief from getting a payment paid off, including mortgage is suck a relief, it is hard to explain. We paid cash for our retirement house due to our particular circumstances. Our prior houses we paid off 'years' early by making 'excess payments' monthy, refinancing when intrest went down and keeping makeing the same payment as before. We have been blessed, but it is with the logic, and understanding that God gave us. No 'hocus pocus', just paying off highest interest rates first, and keeping at it for several years. Now retired, debt free, and having enough savings so if social security stops, we can still live nicely is such a blessing and gives my wife and I much peace.
Thanks for sounding the alarm. Many people are complacent as to what is coming on this earth. I’ve been praying for God’s leading to pay off my country property with my retirement savings but the taxes will be enormous. I trust your video msg is the answer to my prayers.
couldn't agree with you more, however, if the city slickers (even a small percent) move to the country the price of the "modest" farm/home stead will /is becoming un attainable. There is only so much space available
I understand where you are coming from. Around here in East TX, there are a lot of people leaving the countryside and moving back into the cities. I assume it is for work in many cases. That leaves many places open for some good folks to come out. You shouldn't have to worry about someone moving out to a rural area. Many of them know it is hard work and embrace that.
I would LOVE to move out into the country from the small city I live in to do WORK! And we’ve been trying for the last 2 years to do it but the housing market and mortgage rates have put this all out of reach. So we work our butts off doing what we can where we are. We are very close to only have a small mortgage and no other debt.
You are on the right track. Keep fighting forward. I think the housing market is going to take a huge downward fall soon. Mortgage demand is already down 27%. That will be the time to buy.
@@CountryLivingExperience I look every day, and yes, I’m seeing homes staying longer on the market along with pretty drastic cuts in asking price. I’m in northeast, TN. Trusting God in all of this.
I am a Muslim who are in the middle of establishing a farm in UK. I agree to every word you said and is going through the transformation journey right now. BTW, we as Muslims love Jesus and believe in him being of God greatest prophets. Just thought to let you know this as many people don’t know it.
Blessings for your farm. I have Muslim friends who I have talked to about the Word of God. Jesus is the Son of God and is God. He loves you and died an earthly death for you.
@@CountryLivingExperience Response to country life Thanks for the kind words. I just wanted to explain that as Muslims despite that we love Jesus, Moses and Muhammad, we don’t elevate any prophet to the status of the creator. Personally I do believe (through teachings of Islam) that the mercy of God must be earned through true belief combined with good deeds. That is one of the reasons I made a decision to establish my farm and leave the luxury life I used to lead behind. We have lots of common grounds with our Christian friends and the line between us is so fine. I make prayers to you and all people out there for eternal happiness and goodness. Thanks again brother
You're welcome and thank you for the kind words. I admire your dedication and love. I am reminded in the Word of God that: "Yea, a man may say, “Thou hast faith, and I have works.” Show me thy faith apart from thy works, and I will show thee my faith by my works. James 2:18". God's word also teaches that His love and mercy are a free gift which we cannot gain by works (one christian sect believes that but it is not Biblical). We gain God's favor through obedience to His law because we love Him and that produces good works from us. We don't elevate any prophet above God either. Our Church has a prophet. They were just a messenger and not to be worshiped in any way. Jesus on the other hand is part of the Godhead consisting of God the Father, God the Son, and the Holy Spirit. God the Son volunteered to come to this earth to die a grim death for all of our sins. What an amazing thing that our Creator would do for us. His blood was shed for us because he loves us so much and was willing to condescend Himself, leave the heavenly realm, and die here. He rose from the dead and is in the heavenly sanctuary pleading with the Father for each and every one of us. All of the prophets (Moses, Abraham, and many more) spoke of Him. Peace be with you and may the Lord bless your farm that it provides bountifully for your family.
I would love to homestead but the cost of land has skyrocketed and any house that has even a tiny acre attached is way overpriced. Moving to a modest home with acreage would put us further into debt so it’s been really hard to make this adjustment
Great points!!!🌻🌻1. Economics. Not be dependent on living paycheck to pay...& spending everything weekly to pay for overpriced lifestyle choices like 80,000$ trucks, restaurant food, & esp. decades of 'Easy Credit' !! Neither borrower nor lender be! 🗽🌅
@@CountryLivingExperience It boiled down to supply line disruptions being fake and manufacturered, wondering why we're dependent on a foreign country for wheat and fertilizer, and that the real estate market is heading for a disaster. It was actually a lot, but Google doesn't approve of talking about 🇺🇦 or 💉 in a negative manner.
Thankfully the only debt we have is our mortgage. We pay at least one extra payment on our mortgage every year so we can get our house paid off in 18 years instead of 30. Two years ago we refinanced our mortgage at 2.9% on a 30 year fixed mortgage. Our Pastor got an AWESOME fixed mortgage rate of 1.875%. Our previous mortgage rate was 3.875 and after getting our new fixed mortgage at 2.9%, it dropped our mortgage by $500, but right after that our property taxes went up by $500 a month. Washington state is now one of the highest taxed state in the union. And if you live in King County (Seattle), the sales tax is 10.0% and they now have an income tax. This is why big companies like Microsoft, Amazon, etc have relocated to other areas. And the Communist Left cannot figure out why everyone is bailing out of Seattle. Microsoft has relocated to our area, which we hate because they keep voting for the communist Left expecting change. Yep, they’re Stupid
@@CountryLivingExperience Eric, the 2.9% opened up for only 3 days. I have a friend who is a mortgage broker and she alerted me about it. My wife and I grabbed it and secured it within the 3 day opening
I'm not from the normal bubble of people you talk to, I found your channel by continuously autoplaying solar panel installation videos while stuck in traffic, and noticed almost immediately you were different than most. So I dont use the dialect you use to communicate your ideas. It makes me sad actually, because I know alot of people who would hear the words you use to communicate and would immediately dismiss you. But, its obvious, if you actually pay attention to what your trying to get across, that you are giving profound advice and insight that you genuinely want others to benefit from. And things people need to hear too. I *hate* how politics draws arbitrary lines between people so they cant group together and fight for what matters. I know so many people who think the other is the enemy, but say exactly the same thing just in a different way. Its a false divide. I hope you break into more bubbles and people hear what you have to say.
I appreciate it. Not sure what you mean by "dialect you use to communicate your ideas."? Can you explain this. It may help me reach more people. Just for a point of reference, I am neither a D or R and have not been for 25 years.
@@CountryLivingExperience always loved the fact you keep politics, and nonsense like "woke" out of your videos, and advocated people to be smart with the money, self sustaining and good people in general.. That ended today

Thanks.
Yep, fiat currency is fake and backed by fairy dust.
The relief from getting a payment paid off, including mortgage is suck a relief, it is hard to explain. We paid cash for our retirement house due to our particular circumstances. Our prior houses we paid off 'years' early by making 'excess payments' monthy, refinancing when intrest went down and keeping makeing the same payment as before. We have been blessed, but it is with the logic, and understanding that God gave us. No 'hocus pocus', just paying off highest interest rates first, and keeping at it for several years. Now retired, debt free, and having enough savings so if social security stops, we can still live nicely is such a blessing and gives my wife and I much peace.
Absolutely! So glad you worked hard to get that house paid off.
In urban area just outside city limits. Debt free and getting ready for retirement…. Hubby won’t move because this house is paid for.
I will pray that you can move.
Great advice, my husband thinks I’m crazy for wanting to stock up on food etc. I’m praying for God to open his eyes. I too want to downsize. ❤️🙏🏻🇺🇸
Thanks. I will pray the the Lord opens your husbands eyes.
Thanks for sounding the alarm. Many people are complacent as to what is coming on this earth. I’ve been praying for God’s leading to pay off my country property with my retirement savings but the taxes will be enormous. I trust your video msg is the answer to my prayers.
Amen. Keep praying about it friend. God will give you the answer.
Great tips and advice. And did you know if you offer to pay cash for a vehicle they won’t even give a discount?
Thanks.
Yes, you have to be crafty when buying a car in these times.
couldn't agree with you more, however, if the city slickers (even a small percent) move to the country the price of the "modest" farm/home stead will /is becoming un attainable. There is only so much space available
I understand where you are coming from. Around here in East TX, there are a lot of people leaving the countryside and moving back into the cities. I assume it is for work in many cases. That leaves many places open for some good folks to come out. You shouldn't have to worry about someone moving out to a rural area. Many of them know it is hard work and embrace that.
I would LOVE to move out into the country from the small city I live in to do WORK! And we’ve been trying for the last 2 years to do it but the housing market and mortgage rates have put this all out of reach. So we work our butts off doing what we can where we are. We are very close to only have a small mortgage and no other debt.
You are on the right track. Keep fighting forward. I think the housing market is going to take a huge downward fall soon. Mortgage demand is already down 27%. That will be the time to buy.
@@CountryLivingExperience I look every day, and yes, I’m seeing homes staying longer on the market along with pretty drastic cuts in asking price. I’m in northeast, TN. Trusting God in all of this.
I am a Muslim who are in the middle of establishing a farm in UK. I agree to every word you said and is going through the transformation journey right now. BTW, we as Muslims love Jesus and believe in him being of God greatest prophets. Just thought to let you know this as many people don’t know it.
Blessings for your farm. I have Muslim friends who I have talked to about the Word of God. Jesus is the Son of God and is God. He loves you and died an earthly death for you.
Amen@@CountryLivingExperience
@@CountryLivingExperience Response to country life
Thanks for the kind words. I just wanted to explain that as Muslims despite that we love Jesus, Moses and Muhammad, we don’t elevate any prophet to the status of the creator. Personally I do believe (through teachings of Islam) that the mercy of God must be earned through true belief combined with good deeds. That is one of the reasons I made a decision to establish my farm and leave the luxury life I used to lead behind. We have lots of common grounds with our Christian friends and the line between us is so fine. I make prayers to you and all people out there for eternal happiness and goodness. Thanks again brother
You're welcome and thank you for the kind words. I admire your dedication and love.
I am reminded in the Word of God that: "Yea, a man may say, “Thou hast faith, and I have works.” Show me thy faith apart from thy works, and I will show thee my faith by my works. James 2:18". God's word also teaches that His love and mercy are a free gift which we cannot gain by works (one christian sect believes that but it is not Biblical). We gain God's favor through obedience to His law because we love Him and that produces good works from us.
We don't elevate any prophet above God either. Our Church has a prophet. They were just a messenger and not to be worshiped in any way. Jesus on the other hand is part of the Godhead consisting of God the Father, God the Son, and the Holy Spirit. God the Son volunteered to come to this earth to die a grim death for all of our sins. What an amazing thing that our Creator would do for us. His blood was shed for us because he loves us so much and was willing to condescend Himself, leave the heavenly realm, and die here. He rose from the dead and is in the heavenly sanctuary pleading with the Father for each and every one of us. All of the prophets (Moses, Abraham, and many more) spoke of Him.
Peace be with you and may the Lord bless your farm that it provides bountifully for your family.
I would love to homestead but the cost of land has skyrocketed and any house that has even a tiny acre attached is way overpriced. Moving to a modest home with acreage would put us further into debt so it’s been really hard to make this adjustment
It will come down again soon from the economic indicators that I study. Just hold on a bit longer.
Great points!!!🌻🌻1. Economics. Not be dependent on living paycheck to pay...& spending everything weekly to pay for overpriced lifestyle choices like 80,000$ trucks, restaurant food, & esp. decades of 'Easy Credit' !! Neither borrower nor lender be! 🗽🌅
Amen! Thank you!
Hrrm, I commented, and YT deleted it. I must have said something truthful. 🤔
What was it?
@@CountryLivingExperience It boiled down to supply line disruptions being fake and manufacturered, wondering why we're dependent on a foreign country for wheat and fertilizer, and that the real estate market is heading for a disaster.
It was actually a lot, but Google doesn't approve of talking about 🇺🇦 or 💉 in a negative manner.
Lots of censorship everywhere.
You're on *THE LIST* ...Welcome to the club....
Thankfully the only debt we have is our mortgage. We pay at least one extra payment on our mortgage every year so we can get our house paid off in 18 years instead of 30. Two years ago we refinanced our mortgage at 2.9% on a 30 year fixed mortgage. Our Pastor got an AWESOME fixed mortgage rate of 1.875%.
Our previous mortgage rate was 3.875 and after getting our new fixed mortgage at 2.9%, it dropped our mortgage by $500, but right after that our property taxes went up by $500 a month.
Washington state is now one of the highest taxed state in the union. And if you live in King County (Seattle), the sales tax is 10.0% and they now have an income tax. This is why big companies like Microsoft, Amazon, etc have relocated to other areas. And the Communist Left cannot figure out why everyone is bailing out of Seattle.
Microsoft has relocated to our area, which we hate because they keep voting for the communist Left expecting change. Yep, they’re Stupid
Wow, that is awesome you have such a low apr.
@@CountryLivingExperience Eric, the 2.9% opened up for only 3 days. I have a friend who is a mortgage broker and she alerted me about it. My wife and I grabbed it and secured it within the 3 day opening
@@Doc1855 What a blessing!
I'm not from the normal bubble of people you talk to, I found your channel by continuously autoplaying solar panel installation videos while stuck in traffic, and noticed almost immediately you were different than most.
So I dont use the dialect you use to communicate your ideas. It makes me sad actually, because I know alot of people who would hear the words you use to communicate and would immediately dismiss you. But, its obvious, if you actually pay attention to what your trying to get across, that you are giving profound advice and insight that you genuinely want others to benefit from. And things people need to hear too.
I *hate* how politics draws arbitrary lines between people so they cant group together and fight for what matters. I know so many people who think the other is the enemy, but say exactly the same thing just in a different way. Its a false divide. I hope you break into more bubbles and people hear what you have to say.
I appreciate it.
Not sure what you mean by "dialect you use to communicate your ideas."? Can you explain this. It may help me reach more people.
Just for a point of reference, I am neither a D or R and have not been for 25 years.
Lazy.....

Love your channel, but wow, I may just have to stop following you ..
Ok. Why?
@@CountryLivingExperience always loved the fact you keep politics, and nonsense like "woke" out of your videos, and advocated people to be smart with the money, self sustaining and good people in general..
That ended today
k bye
How did that end? Be specific because I have talked about very similar things in many videos before this one.
The wheat and the tares. Provide the truth and it is up to the individual.🙌
