Today we have a replay of a recap of what the LFTN community and podcast are all about. Enjoy! Link to old post There are so many new listeners that I thought it would be worthwhile to talk about our tagline: Helping you build the life you choose on your terms. Lots of people think this podcast is about homesteading, about cooking good food,  about liberty and freedom – and it is. We do tons on starting and growing your own business, side hustles and more. But when you dig right into things a little deeper, you will discover the LFTN is about choosing the life you want to live, then setting yourself up to go there. The life I choose to live is in the country, but this approach works in the city and all over the world. The hardest part of doing it is accepting that you CAN do it.

This episode was recorded in March 2020 right before lockdowns were enacted. This was the year of the great TP shortage and folks who had never thought about having more than a few days’ worth of food on hand were thrust into keeping several weeks on hand. As we turn the corner into supply chain problems, this topic has again arisen. Please enjoy this replay episode on how to build a deep pantry right away rather than over time - which is the better way.

We will discuss lessons learned from two folks who navigated the inflationary period of the 70s, when jobs became scarce, people saw the value of their retirements cut in half, and a savings account was the worst way to preserve wealth.
