Crude oil to hit $100 a barrel and $4 a gallon gas coming, housing prices up 25% and end of rent deferment for many people. I highly recommend people not go in to debt and get your finances stabilized as it is looking like another crash or recession is headed our way by next year.
I got a motorcycle this year that can get 135MPG and I don't need to go to town much these days. No house payments and no utility bills to worry about but propane may be higher come winter so getting my wood stocked up for back up.
Increased my solar power with 2 new 100 watt panels and batts to educe using the genny. Gas is $3.45 a gallon here right now. Building materials are outrageously high. When the case lot sales come around I need to stock up on dry and canned goods again. If you are not raising animals you might consider a few chickens. Eggs will keep you fed and chickens produce extra to sell/trade.
I reduced my phone bill by getting off ATT and getting my own wifi hotspot saved me about $700 a year. Internet is my only monthly bill and is $50 a month. Property taxes and truck insurance are only other bills I pay each year. Gas for the truck and propane as needed. I spend about $150 a month on food and I eat well.
Consider how you can reduce your expenses without sacrificing safety and invest in your homesteads and in developing multiple streams of income.

"I just received LaMar's book about simple solar homesteading. The whole book contains finite directions for building a cabin for under $2,000, a solar system for under $1000, a solar water heater for under $50 ,a solar composting toilet, and even a garden cart, plus lots of other info about where to go to get more stuff. It's the best $5 I've ever spent. Just the how-to photos are worth so much. I printed the book off, bound it, and stayed up most of the night devouring it--now I can't wrench it out of my son's hands. I've always said if you know how to build shelter and grow food, it takes most of the fear out of life. If you haven't ordered this book, do it NOW! Thanks, LaMar, for putting this together". Rebecca at Coyote Moon Homestead in W KY
Simple Solar Homesteading II
"Lamar has empowered the reader, the seeker, the fed-up, those on very limited income, enabled them to take control of their life. Freeing them from the servitude of a system; that enslaves under 15-20 even 30 years of indenture, the mortgage company. A system that cares not for the Spiritual welfare of its captives, but only the profit it can extract from it?s sufferers. I found this book, to contain a wealth of information. All of it in a format that is usable, by anyone with the most marginal construction skills. Providing plans for more than just a cabin, he touches upon many more of the needed systems, which go along with homesteading. It will become a valuable tool for many, profound in its straight forward simplicity." Rock Trant
