    Fuel-less home

    I quit driving in October 2009 after a DUI. This was the first time I had a gun pulled on me and I was being as cooperative as I think I have to be. So, I decided to quit driving. I am pretty sure I can get Trek to finance me on a tandem I am REALLY in love with. Seriously, I drink 211, eat...

    Living in a Lotus Belle Tent

    I'm reposting this because I've always wanted to live in one of these tents, I've even priced them and they're fairly reasonable (as low as $750, not including the deck) so it was cool to see this video on youtube about it, through which i found the article. I think I might even keep one of...

    Our new adventure ~ homesteading in Maine

    In 2016 I ditched my techno-utopian deadbeat husband and moved in with my grandmom and helped her with her end of life care. She helped me out with a free place to live so I was able to pay off my debts and I helped her with geriatric stuff, food, medicine, etc. She passed away in November and...

    If you purchase land with student loan money will they be able to take the property from you?

    If someone defaults on their student loan debt but they used the student loans to purchase land to live off, is anyone able to come in and take your land from you because of the debt? Are there certain ways to go about this to prevent your land being taken from you?
