Our Plan:

Our plan is to buy a home with at least 10 acres. With under $1000 a year property tax.
We would like a nice size garden and a green house for seedlings.
We would like a dozen chickens and a coupe.
We would like a pole barn on the property, or something similar.
We would like to have all our power off grid, Solar and Wind.
We would like Heat from sun for water and Air.
We would also like a wood burning stove for winter.
We would like Propane for cooking inside and outside.

Our goal would be very few bills a month.
Only cell phones and High Speed Internet.
Would not mind on the grid hookups for a backup to the house, but Primarily we would be OFF Grid.

We would like to have a couple of dogs on the property. We have none now. But have had many before.
We would like to Jar and preserve our harvest from the garden.
We would like to have a much smaller food bill. We are vegetarians and whole food eaters.

The idea is to end all the commuting and the high taxes of where we live now.

We want a comfortable life in the country, working hard for ourselves and enjoying Natural Life.

These are GOALS.

Make the Start. 7 year Plan

7 Year plan, this is what we would like to do.
in 7 years. Not now, but then. We are tired of the city lifestyle. We are tired of the commute.
We are tired of the property taxes. We are planning on moving to the country at a later date in the future and we are starting now.

We will pay off all our debts. We will try to save monies and make our move. Its gonna take patience and perseverance. but we will try to go forward and live off the grid. Its about the dream and the way to make a dream a reality is to move towards a goal. we have a goal and we hope to move towards that goal everyday.
