become self-sufficient

To me it’s not having to rely on anyone or anything if something should happen. When I move (in the next couple months) it means starting a very large garden, learn how to preserve the food I grow, and hopefully use the store less and less. This would also mean I would also become a lot more healthy!
Self sufficiency is also taking care of the money situation. I will get my degree soon, and live on what I have. Won’t be rich, but we’ll be happy!
