I bet you she is happier than a millionaire or billionaire

You look so happy, refreshed, and liberated. 😊

I have a few friends who live off grid. I am fortunate to live on a four generation family farm. I live with my grandfather who is 88 years old and my mom lives next door. That makes seven of us, co-existing and thriving, taking care of our plants and animals. We are working towards creating a self sustainable system. I am not there yet but I'm getting closer and closer each year. We are working towards becoming debt free. My husband and I are both college educated but the loans are within 14 months of being paid off. I can't wait accomplish that goal. I love living on our homestead. I quit my job four years ago when we moved from a tiny apartment in Seattle to my grandparents farm, so I could be a stay at home mom/farmer/homesteader and I have no regrets. I have had time to raise my girls and take care of my family. I recently found your channel and have really been enjoying your videos. :o)

Exactly what I've been preaching lol. We are building our place to retire to. Limited income, but and unlimited life!

Her small part time job is youtube.

'you don't have to be a 'fancy pants' to have a homestead' I love it

Becky, I just love your voice and energy. It makes my heart joyful to see you living this wonderfully "simple" life and enjoying it, and SHARING it. Thank you bunches!! XOXO

Being a single father raising my kids in this rat race I have done lots of thinking on my future since my kids are now older. I am thinking about grabbing an RV and buy some land and park it there. Then build a barn cabin and solar it out best I can. Then Run a type of business for some income. I have got to find peace and this is my only way. To write music out in the woods or away from it all would be a dream.

Did I miss the "Make Money" part?

I love your attitude, Becky. I also admire how you put yourself out there - no apologies. We have bought a small mom and pop business with a small attached flat (530 ft.) by a contract for deed with no balloon payment. We are very, very happy with this arrangement and look forward to when we are able to quit outside jobs in a few years.

At first I thought this was going to be a stupid video but as I watched it really is very good. I have watched a couple of her videos and she gives solid advice.

Your absolutely right Becky! Your animals look so healthy and well taken care of...you are an inspiration!

Lot of great talking points. The lower you can make your bills the less you need to bring in. Thanks for sharing!

Becky your a breath of fresh air. Good luck to you in all you do!

Thanks Becky! 😊 I really don't understand why ppl trouble themselves with what YOU spend. I love getting info from you and if ppl wld do more listening then criticizing they might very well get to where you are. Thanks again 👍luvs💜

Some good info in this video. One thing to keep in mind is the more animals you have, the more financial responsibility. To take good care of animals, there are bills--particularly vet bills that you can't predict. One illness or injury can set you back a thousand or more. I had two horses have serious health issues in 2015 and the vet costs for them were several thousand. The alternative would have been to let them die or euthanize them. Even with prompt vet care, one did have to be euthanized. I see Becky's four horses/mules and see a potential bank-breaker. There are ways to feed them cost effectively, but vet bills are unpredictable and definitely something to think about when trying to cut your work hours back to the absolute minimum. Might want to think about limiting the number of animals too or building up a big "just in case." fund before you do.

Becky I love all your videos! You have inspired me to start looking into having my own homestead, I'm in my mid 30s and I can't stomach having a huge mortgage, spending the rest of my life as a slave to corporate america, drinking the mainstream Kool-Aid. I honestly believe that now is the time to start living self-sufficient , people at work joke with me that I sound like gypsy, I laugh back at them that they are clueless and should slow down on the mainstream media kool-Aid lol who would not want to be self-sufficient living a happy healthy life doing what you want working for yourself/homestead. Thank you so much for all your great videos, I have learned so much.

you are exactly right...love you becky....you make me happy

Becky and son, both of you are wonderful. Thank you all so much for sharing with us. Neil is so cutecaring his hey off to his bed. Blessings !

Your contentment is overflowing and contagious. Thanks for the enthusiasm, agree completely.

Awesome. That's exactly what I say. By putting these energy saving lights, I also shut the switch of 2 bedrooms that are not being used since my kids got married and moved away,also cut some other switch that aren't being used and at night i shut off all these little lights, like the microwave, tv, and more. From 185$ now I pay 35$. I do gardening to cut cost and it feels great. Great video.

This is so inspiring. I'm 21 years old and I want to live this way. My heart is sparkling. Omg omg. : D

I’ve been watching this lady for years and finally about to live the lifestyle... thank you Becky your the best and ppl just listen to her she will get you there.

She never asks anyone to like or subscribe ... She’s a fucking legend ... for many other great reasons

Love that you made this video. This is what is not discussed when it comes to homesteading. People talk about getting your homestead and how to select a homestead, but nothing on how to actually live week to week, month to month, year to year on it. I would only add that one has to figure in how they are going to have health care. Insurance is usually not available to part-time workers. Hopefully, if one is able to go part-time and still cover all their expenses, it's not while expecting others (i.e. the government) to foot health care for them.

the title is misleading on this one a bit, i was under the impression you were going to go over what you did to make money on a homestead.

Wise words. God Bless you Becky. The rat race is a perpetual roundhouse. I lived it years ago. I was miserable. I have less now and I am way happier.

She's a happy lady.

The animals look so happy i love that chicken perched on that wood bar🐓

This lifestyle seems awesome! Thanks for sharing!!

very good advice to those of us that make little and have to start from scratch. we live very low now and only make 20000 a year so thank you for the video.

Becky, you are energized. Thank you for your videos.

I just love this woman! Becky makes so much sense and she has great suggestions and ideas! I wish I had known about her a couple of years ago when I had my life turned upside down.

This is amazing. Thank you so much. Our society makes this seem unrealistic and not normal but this is what I want. I'm going for it!

Thanks, Becky! You described exactly what God had intended for us! God Bless!

I agree Becky totally Wanda and i dont hold a job at all we just pick up odd jobs as we need them.We raise most of our food and can a lot raise chickens and pigs.Been watching your videos for a long time.We started a channel at Christmas telling about our homestead.

Wow. I'm definitely a "city slicker". I've lived in the woods before in a small trailer, I've lived in a village, etc, and I wasn't happy. So I can't really see myself living this sort of life. However I will say that videos like this make me think that maybe I could live like this and truly enjoy myself. Either way, I have great respect for you Becky. I admire how you have created this life for yourself, it takes courage to step out of the "rat race" the way you've done. Happiness to you! -Misty

haha, that pig working on his/her homestead by moving the hay. Too cute!

Becky I love watching all your videos. You are a true inspiration to me and my family. I am currently window shopping for the perfect piece of land to be able to start our homesteading lifestyle. I already make my own laundry soap, can some of my own food, stock pile when things go on sale and watch what we spend to try and save up. Thank you for all of your wonderful videos. I hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas!!!

I just love you.you're my hero! It's nice to see someone actually do something on their own to improve their life. You're such an inspiration. Id love to have a home stead to raise my family on....I'm definetly checking into this more!!!!!

Love you and your channel. You are inspiring!

Great video Becky! You look great, beautiful and healthy. Thank you for the helpful video :)

You're absolutely right, Becky. We've had our homestead for 22 years, and we could have done all we wanted on half the land. Great advice. Have a great week!

What an Positive Energy I've got from this video! Thanks for sharing Becky....Love from Pakistan

Your videos are so refreshing, full of Health and good vibes. God bless you, dear.

Thank you Becky. This is very good and instructive advice to follow.

Hi Becky! Very sound advice! My hubby & I have been working on this for years...still in progress. We have chickens (which you have helped immensely) and now just have to maintain their run and coop with more animals on the way...1 at a time....I use the eggs for my baking for the farmers markets and people just love it! Your channel has been such a blessing to me..thank you! :)

This lady is so nice and knowledgeable. down to earth .strong.independant . So wise . She really is living great . And i wish I could be like her . 👍😁

I love this lady..and I found her again. My phone was lost, and I'm going through hard times. This lady is encouraging.GOD BLESS.. Just to listen to her is a Plus! ..

Great channel.. I also live in Florida not a home stead but a small farm (but live like a home stead).. I have started out with watching your videos and inspired me too.. I don't have horses or mules but I don't have to feed my tractor every day.. lol I have found out that raising turkeys and chicken can be profitable (did not say get rich) but it pays for all the feed for all animals and have some left over for trees for orchard.. I buy 2 older trees to start off since they are more pricey then buy younger cheaper trees that will take few years to mature.. found making raised beds from scrap tin that I get from friends leftovers (2 feet tall by 2.5 wide and 10 feet long) it keeps all the good soil in the box. Florida has sandy soil gets washed out easy.. you don't have to bend over (killing your back) pulling weeds, and the bugs don't seem to get to the plants as much and are able to see plants closer for infestation or diseases.. looking into a lawn sweeper to pick up leaves and grass clippings to get a bigger mulch pile going.. found out that piling cardboard under leaves and grass clippings with coffee grounds brings a lot more worms.. just water once a week if it hasn't rained in awhile.

I cant wait, I'm in fl and looks really promising for my family. Finally changing how I look at what's important to me and my family. Thank you for the knowledge

I personally love living in the country. I love to grow my food and raise my animals. I love picking my own eggs, from my own chickens, milking my cows, make my own cheese and sour cream. I enjoy the sun, the rain, fresh air, the sound of the pure nature and the land that feeds me organically. Becky, your channel is wonderful and instructive, congratulations. God bless you.

i like this lady. she is like me cheap cheap cheap and dont want to work more than 30 hrs a week, i feel its so much time taken out too. I am so glad i came across this. Thank you! i knew i wasnt a cheap and lazy person. i want a better lifestyle and more time to live rather than work my butt off!

Great video and show! Thanks for sharing your information and knowledge with us.

The Opposite Club. I felt that sis. This is just so motivational and inspiring. What would be considered wild thoughts, is actually a dream for a lot of people like me Nd my family. 💕

you're fun to watch. you officially have a new fan :) not sure if I'm ready to move out of the city but you're making it sound a lot more realistic than I anticipated. Yay

i am 26 My goal is by 30 buy a small piece of land and move out of the city and rent my current house ... and then eventually sell it too... but meanwhile I would have my dream homestead in the middle of no where with a lot of animals 🐷🐶🐱🐑🐰🐮🐓🐤🐥🐣🐔🐄🐐🐎🐴 and even afford to have a small animal rescue for dogs and maybe a few cats

thank you for the encouragement. have a wonderful day.

I love Becky!!! Cause she is right... I don't know about anyone else but I would enjoy staying home leisurely doing nothing, feeding the animals, gardening, and enjoying life and literally smelling the flowers, cooking, throwing a party with the people I love and like and live longer.... I agree with her on that. I have drastically reduced my finances and It has helped me a lot. Now I am trying to shrink them even lower. I thought it was funny when Becky mentioned be creative to lower your bills. I'm being real creative. lol....

Great video- really nice quality.. and great info. Less is MORE! Simple is better! Let's Go!

Becky. My wife and I are in the process of looking for land and starting our homestead. Im 42 she is 41 we both have thought alot about this and we think it is right for us. We have already started moving out of our house. I quit my fulltime job with Walmart to work PT at a gas station. Next we are buying an RV to live in until we build out homestead. If you have any more tips please DM me. I watch all of your videos and think you have done amazing for yourself and your family. We cannot wait to leave these big city lives behind and get out where we belong.. Thank you for all you do and teach.. Can't wait to see more.. Be safe and God bless.

You are a very happy person, I like your techniques and videos.

God bless you Becky for sharing all of your ideas with us!

Becky, I adore you and find your videos so inspiring! I hope one day to have a homestead of my own in Queensland, Australia! thank you so much for your honest and helpful tips in homesteading!

I think you are such a good person ,thanks for the insperation you give to people GB.

I think you're great. You definitely have the right idea and your advice is basic but fundamental. I am trying to do something similar and it's comforting to see folks like you doing it :-) Thank you.

I'm an at home Dad, and my wife makes good money at what she does, but the bills do dictate our lives, so we end up with barely enough time to relax, and hardly any money saved. I believe as we grow older we know the answers to are problems, and know what we need, but most are to caught up in a life that was not planed out, or thought about enough; probably because of wanting instant gratification, lol. We have the answers in our ❤️. By listening to others; like this video, it gives me the opportunity to tap into my dreams and desires, and make it simple to make the happy life that I've always wanted.

Thank you Becky, I finally have somebody relating to the way I think!!!! Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts and video!!! Love it!!!! I will get your book soon!!! God bless!!!!

The reason that most people are not happy is that we get bored with objects, no matter how beautiful or big they are. For many of us, homesteading gives us the variety and changes we craving for, a growth in learning and and advancement. A reason to wake up every day to something new and exciting even challenging a bit 😂 Love your channel Becky ❤🎉

Infinite Thank you Becky, I am just in the process of downsizing and you have confirmed my commitment that my next step will be small. small. small. Blessings and love, jagat joti

One thing I would recommend that Becky did not touch on was use your skills to derive some extra income. If you have skills or knowledge in any area look around and figure out a way to market them and yourself. If you have an old pick up truck and a trailer, a chainsaw or a good lawnmower you can always cut wood for extra cash or mow some lawns. I have a neighbor who has a tree service, he hauls several trees every year to his farm and burns them in brush piles. If you were to work with him, I bet you could have a firewood business and make a good second income just off of the wood he burns off every year. If you know how to do office work or have book keeping skills you can often find work from home. Just look around and place an ad in the paper. Individuals and small businesses often need someone to do the "busy work" for them, so they can concentrate on whatever they are doing.

You explained homesteading very well. This was a good talk all the way around 🦋💜

Love your channel Becky all the very best from the UK

This is one of the best videos and I am at the stage now of making that plunge in May.Thank you so much for your tips and secrets! Have a Blessed day and life.

This is my dream, Becky! Thank you for making a video detailing what's important for making it happen. I'm in professional school now, but hopefully someday my husband and I can make this happen despite my massive school loans.

I just love you Becky! Always the most informative information

Thank you so much for this video. Our family believes in this system. Awesome video!

You have really good videos. I am looking forward to have a homestead. I already start with my garden.

I started watching your soaping videos a couple years ago, i think 2015. The people I was hanging out with thought I was nuts. Now I'm selling stuff locally and still dreaming of my own land. If you did it I can. I'm a single mom with a full time job and I'm trying not to fall apart. You inspire me thank you.

Bless you Becky. We have started on this dream and your ideas are guiding us even though we live in Africa.😊

thanks for sharing your secrets of success! we are working on building our own homestead and learning the skills that will help us.

Becky , I am 70th years old and I am downsizing. I am going to sell my 3 bedroom 3 bath rouse and buy about an acre of land and put a tiny house around 400-900sq. ft., just enough for me and in the mean time I am getting out of debt (i hate debt). I would like to have a few chickens and ducks, and a few sheep. I would like to start my own blog, also, and I love to knit, crocket, container garden, write, draw, make things out of wood, canning and enjoy the simple life. dallas, texas has become to crowed and unpolite. I love your Becky homestead and the tiny house preppers. Be Blessed. Ria

I work part time. No car payment, hardly any bills, grow a garden, hunt and fish! It works! Also, buy food at discount places. Don't buy anything unless it's on clearance!

I love this. I always thought I needed a lot of land. I'm so looking forward to doing this

I love her logic and lifestyle arrangements.

YOU ARE MY KIND OF WOMEN !!!! I LOVE YOU BECKY Oxox

You are very entertaining thank you! Not even interested in homesteading but love the way you put things across

Good advice. It's funny watching that pig drag over some hay for its bed. It looked like the mules and pony were taking in your advice there for a second.

What a fantastic life!! Great video, thank you!!!!

This Lady is ONE OF A KIND...👍

I appreciate the differentiation between Homestead lifestyle and business.
