In this episode we change things up a bit with a round table discussion with our good friend Eric Western and my husband (Alexes here) Phil about one of the things we dread thinking about let alone talking about, “How much will it cost and can we afford it?” that’s right we are talking about money.

In this insightful conversation we discuss what we should realistically expect to budget for when looking at buying land or thinking about the kinds of things we will need to spend money on once we buy that land. It is a discussion founded on reality and our combined real experiences having bought land of our own, but it is also a conversation filled with optimism. It is not impossible to find, purchase and develop your own beautiful part of the world you just need to have an understanding of what you can afford and what it is going to take to develop that land. Size doesn’t equate to viability, as we say here at the Homesteading School, “Every house no matter how big or small can be productive, functional and beautiful”

p.s. we don’t have a video for this episode but have a listen here or find us on our apple podcast “The Homesteading School”
