What's Wrong With Self-Sufficiency?

Believe it or not, there is a downside to working toward self-sufficiency, and it's the very thing that most of us fall victim to -- getting carried away by the dream.

Read what my guest George has to say about this, and heed his warning:

The Biggest Downside of Self-Sufficiency

Author: George L.

This just hit me and I had to get it off my chest. Every endeavor in this life, without any exception, has its pitfalls. We are mere humans and we like to take things to extreme, because we think that the more we do, the better results we get.

Not true at all!

Self sufficiency has already proven to change lives. It's already changing the lives of thousands of American families who, right now, couldn't care less about peak oil or the inflation.

But...

Some people, because they want so much to be self-sufficient, the start too much ... alone.

They take this too seriously and think they need absolutely no one in order to survive.

The fact of the matter is, self sufficiency is just as much about doing it yourself as accepting the help of others.

And the first group of people who are critical to your self sufficiency are your family.



The absolute first thing you need to do when you decide to become self sufficient (or if you already are but want to take it to the next level) is to involve your spouse and children in the daily household activities.

You have to give your kids the mindset of self-sufficiency from an early age and actively involved them in gardening, feeding the chickens, making and installing solar panels (under strict surveillance of course) and everything else.

Again. Don't  do this alone or you'll feel so exhausted you'll start thinking self sufficiency won't work. Seek the help of others, let them help you and help them in return.
