Homesteading
Broadly defined, homesteading is a lifestyle of simple, agrarian self-sufficiency.
Current practice
Currently the term 'homesteading'[1] applies to anyone who is a limb of the back-to-the-land movement and who chooses to live a sustainable, self-sufficient lifestyle. While land is no longer freely available in most areas of the world, homesteading remains as a way of life. A new movement, called 'urban homesteading', can be viewed as a simple living lifestyle, incorporating small-scale agriculture, sustainable and permaculture gardening, and home food production and storage into suburban or city living.
Certain progressive activists are attempting to redefine the term based on a few limited successes in New York courts. According to them, homesteading may also refer to the practice of squatting — occupying an abandoned or unoccupied space or building that the squatter does not own, rent or otherwise have permission to use.[2]

Thank you, thank you, I'll be here all week. 😛
I am hungry as a write yet I have a total disdain of money.
I use any money I have to clothe and feed my my four small children and I don't think about food.
Many of the greatest works of literature were written by hungry and tuberculosis infected writers ................ for the sake of their children and/or you and I.
I salute these writers .................... and Suzianne.

Maybe think about your kids?
You're like my parents and because of their poverty I haven't spoken to either of them in over 10 years.
As soon as I left home that was it.
Try thinking about your kids?
Clothing and feeding your kids is nothing, you need to do a lot more.
I hope to god you do.

perhaps I shouldn't have written that until the book has been published.
Money is not a thing to understand.
Being poor is not
For the grand.
-Removed-If happiness is wanting what you have not having what you want, then being rich and being poor can both lead to happiness. But if you've only bread to want for dinner every night wanting it would take some effort!
But poor, really poor is 3rd world stuff isn't it? Poor here can still mean having a car and eating well every night, some people concider themselves poor becasue they can't go out at the weekend 😕
