claps for the pun

Anyway, from the tons of videos I watched about homesteading, some seem to do it for really cheap. I guess it all depends on the level of luxury and the location you want. Also, if you have a homestead where you have a lot of the necessities you need on your plot, you don’t need to work too much to buy them. Watching homesteading vids really made me reflect on why I work. Mostly because I need money to survive of course. But if I manage to be more self sufficient, I might be able to change my relationship with work.

Also, coming from a family of construction workers and warehouse employees, I see what heavy work does to your body unfortunately. But I also wonder how much of that will happen if you maintain a healthy lifestyle on the side. Most of my family drinks heavily and eats shit food. Can’t help but wonder if that also plays a role in their physical wellbeing. Or it’s a chicken and egg scenario, where you have to wonder if the heavy drinking and junk food is a coping mechanism for the heavy work.
