Comments on: The Five-Year Plan http://theorganicsister.com/2009/01/the-five-year-plan/ “Travel and change of place impart new vigor to the mind.” – Seneca Wed, 10 Mar 2010 03:27:06 -0800 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Aunt Teddi http://theorganicsister.com/2009/01/the-five-year-plan/comment-page-1/#comment-553 Aunt Teddi Sat, 17 Jan 2009 01:18:26 +0000 http://naturalhappyandfree.com/?p=874#comment-553 Hey Tara, Your plan sounds great, and attainable too. I'll miss you though when I come to Vegas and you're not there. My five year plan is to be totally debt free. I'm sending in extra on my car and when that's paid off I'll send in the money I was paying on the car for extra on the house. I can do it in five years if I stick to my guns. It will be so nice to not owe anybody anything, except for utilities, insurance and taxes, which still amounts to quite a bit of a chunk of change every month. Especially with taxes, I guess nobody is totally debt free. The government has made it so nobody can TOTALLY opt out of the system...damn politicians. I love you, and know that you and Justin work very hard. In fact, I have a way you can make even more money...give your Aunt Teddi and Uncle Steve a massage when they come into town:-) I'll be there March 5th - 10th. Just me, Steve is going to bach it for a long week-end. We didn't get to see much of each other at Christmas, as I was passed out on Nyquil, so I hope we can spend a bit more time together this time. See ya soon, Teddi Hey Tara,

That's where we were a couple years ago. While we didn't do it debt free, that's still the end goal. Our plan takes a bit longer and we're already on the farm, so it's a trade off. ;) Also, same exact farm/life goals. Neat. Cool. That’s where we were a couple years ago.

I get contacted quite often for stuff like that that I pass on cause it is not a good match for my family. Oh, we should plan very long day at the park!I need to leave at 3ish but can be there as early as nine Remind me to put you in touch with some PR reps that handle the types of products in your plugs section.

It is the one specialty I think I can add to this. I have always told you that you have a small goldmine in content here and you would do well once you start marketing and monetizing it in a way you feel comfortable.

Living in the mountains (I'm a Colorado girl after all), off the land, relying on no one. I love seeing this dream in word on your blog!! Go for it and have a blast along the way!

But Justin is really loving the Earthship design and I don't know how difficult it would be to retrofit that system into a regular house. It's definitely something we'll look into though! From what we've seen a large amount of land doesn't look too pricey, depending on the area, so if we get only land we should still have plenty to build on it. Jennifer: Thanks for the links!! Mon: Yes. LOTS to learn. Mind-boggling loads of research. I think that's one of the only things forcing us to take our time and do it right rather than jump in head first.

I can feel your excitement all the way over here, and it's warming. :D That is my ultimate dream too. We had to adjust our dream a LOT what with baby, lack of resources in this country, on and on.... So we've settled for a self-sufficientish life. Terhaps next time we'll go the whole hog. Literally :) This is the time to research research research. there is SO much to learn.
