How To Make Money When Living a Self-Sustainable Lifestyle
Living a self-sustainable lifestyle does not mean you have to have 139,674, 987 acres somewhere in the middle of nowhere! Off-grid, self-sustainable living can happen no matter where we are. In fact, I believe that self-sufficient living has more to do with our mind-set rather than our surroundings. Let me explain what I mean here…Last winter, I spent the weekend at the home of a Missouri farmer. He and his wife spent countless hours that weekend giving me reasons as to why sustainable farming and off-grid living is a thing of the past. They were surrounded with 140 acres and not a lick of it produced a thing for them.
On the other side of the coin, I’ve met plenty of people who live sustainable, off-grid lives using what they have; and sometimes that means they only have a balcony or a 1/10 acre lot.
The greatest obstacle our family has to being self-sustainable is money. Like many others, we have bills to pay and a land payment to make. Even when we are debt free, there will still be property taxes and general up-keep costs. Although the whole point of self-sufficiency has to do with a reduction in consumption, reality is we’ll always need some type of income.

The smallest ‘sustainable’ 4-person homestead that I have ever actually seen truly work, was almost 5-acres. IN that space, they had an almost 1-acre garden, an acre lot for 5-goats, a nice-sized chicken lot with close to 100-chickens (the wife was using that many to raise ‘farm fresh eggs’, and selling them at her small local grocery store for ‘personal stash money’). They had a barn, a well, two windmills, roof-top solar panels, and a dutch-barn outbuilding set up to do both ‘animal processing’ and canning, as well as daily milk and weekly butter and cheese making. Their small home was also on the property, and I can say that short of buying wheat-grain, or leavening for making bread, they pretty-much had everything they needed to truly survive ‘off-grid’.
The real test that you can do, to validate if you are TRULY ‘off-grid’ robustly survivable, is identify the things you need from the store. Salt, leavening, possibly wheat grain, sure, unless you have a salt deposit you’re going to have to buy it. Wheat? Unless you have about 10-acres and some equipment, you are going to be hard pressed to make enough for a family of 4, otherwise (you can produce around 140-bushels of corn per acre, or 65 or so bushels of wheat per acre on a small farm).
If you are buying more than the ‘three staples’ from the store – then you are NOT ready for ‘off-grid’. You should be able to buy a lifetime’s salt in 100-pound bags for $27 a bag (most people use about a tenth-of-an-ounce per day, or about 3-ounces per month, or about 2-lbs per year, so count it up for your family’s needs…a family of 4 would use 8-lbs per year, so that 100-lb bag would last over 10-years – salt never goes bad, just keep it clean and dry).
Supplemented with wild game, fish, etc., it is quite easy to make all this happen on 5-acres – especially if you had a communal wheat field in your town.
A trivia note: DID YOU KNOW, that if you gave each family in the world 5-acres of land to make such a homestead with, that ALL of them would be able to homestead within the land-area of the lower 48 of the United States, alone? Did you know that greed, power hunger, and lust for control by our leaders stop such a noble process from ever happening? Time to fire your leaders, if they don’t propose similar things.
