become self-sufficient

Got my car started, drove myself to/from work, and I didn’t have to wait on anyyyone.

I want to be completely able to support myself, pay bills, do the things I dream, and do it by myself. I’m still somewhat dependent on my mom until I graduate college. I hope that I can get a GOOD job after i graduate college.

Haribol!
We are a group of Prabhupada centered devotees, who are starting a self-sufficient, varna-asrama comunity, in Belize. Our mission is to provide a model community based on Srila Prabhupada’s instructions on varna-asrama, cow protection, simple living and high thinking and unity and diversity. The main focus will be farming and we are hoping that through our success we can help others start communities everywhere in the world.
This community will have an Ayurvedic Healing center, a Vedic Wisdom library, a Ksatriya Training Center, a Center for Sustainable Agriculture, a Center for Development of alternative energies and technologies that support and encourage simple living, and high thinking.
We have found a piece of property in Belize that we would like to purchase to start this community, however at this time we do not have sufficient Lakshmi to continue in our mission. Therefore we are appealing to the larger devotee community to help us make this part of Srila Prabhupada’s mission a reality.
Our reasons for choosing Belize as the country in which to start this project are very simple. First off we wanted to do this project in a climate conducive to simple living therefore we chose a tropical climate and Belize is also relatively undeveloped and does not have an extremely expensive cost of living. It is also easy to immigrate to and for us it is not too awfully far away.
We are at the very beginning right now and we are aiming to purchase a wonderful piece of property that we have found in Belize.

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!

well step one is complete my fiancee and i just opened our first Buisness it is a day spa in cary NC called Borja we are very excited and very in debt but it is deffinatly worth it

to me this means being self employeed, not having to work makeing enough money off investments to maintain my lifestyle

This means different things to different people. For me it means living without Debt and working for myself. I’m not there yet, but I’ll be there eventually. Currently I work for a Fortune 100, but my real dream is to be in an office at my home doing work for my company.

It feels really good. Really great sense of accomplishment and stuff like that. It also made me feel more like an adult. Do it!

You know, I think I’ve done this. I got a job, I got into school – I did this all on my own. I am living at home, but only cause I’m going to school soon and I’m in debt. I’ve already lived on my own successfully in the past. I don’t really need anyone to do anything for me. And I don’t wait around for anything to happen anymore, I just do it. And it feels damn good!
