Episode 579: 579: How to Plan Like a Homesteader No Matter Where You Call Home, Part 1
Would you consider yourself a natural planner, or is it challenging for you to plan ahead? If you think planning doesn’t come easily, then you share that trait with Kathi and Roger Lipp, but moving to the Red House has forced them to plan ahead. In today’s podcast they share their hard-won wisdom with all of us.
Even if you don’t live on acres in the wilderness, you can still apply these lessons to lessen the stress in your life. For example:
- Are you prepared for extreme weather events or other emergencies in your area?
- Have you been thinking longer term in your financial planning?
- What home maintenance issues are going to turn into big problems without attention?
- Are you taking the time to build practical skills?
Kathi and Roger give us some helpful ideas in all these areas and more. Listen and find out how you can experience more peace in your home by planning ahead.
Are you a natural planner or is planning ahead a challenge for you?
