I have spent 5 years on this app trying to help people not go broke and not burn out on homesteading
The trap a lot of people fall into is doing to much to quickly before they have systems in place. Systems make or break a small farm or homestead
My suggestions to people ready to give up OR get started in their homestead journey
1. Don’t have preconceived notions of what homesteading is. You can homestead where you are. You don’t need 50 acres an hour away from town. You don’t have to grow everything your family consumes. Baby steps. Start small and fail small
2. Study and implement permaculture as much as possible. It teaches you how to develop systems that work together WITH the property you’re working on, not against it
3. Learn from people who try to be input free. You can’t do what others have done and expect different results. Inputs and infrastructure cost real money but don’t necessarily give you real results
4. Don’t model most of the influencers. They pay people to help them or get free labor by people who intern with them
5. Gardens are a lot of work. Before you plant a huge garden, plant perennial food crops like fruit trees, berries, asparagus
6. Learn to forage and hunt. So much food and medicine grows around us that require 0 effort from us. Take advantage of that
Learn from great people like @permapastures and books from like “The Independent Farmstead” by Shawn and Beth Daugherty
Why will this stack have your foid begging for more?
Tadalafil - the ultimate bonermaxxing drug, better erections, lower refractory period (go again sooner), vascular health & blood pressure benefits
Vitamin K2 MK4 - helps prevent calcium buildup in arteries for better circulation and hardness downstairs, supports healthy test levels in animal studies. Potent, short half life, adds extra stiffness, can apply topically too
Aspirin - studies have likened effects to viagra, thins blood and improves circulation. Wide range of other cardiac and metabolic benefits, cheapest drug around. A gram is extreme, even a small dose (~80mg) can be supportive for your pecker
Is this the Holy Trinity of Dickmaxxing supplements?
We tell young people in our society that end of the rainbow is retirement at 65.
We ought to tell them that "there is going to be this short but beautiful golden window from roughly age 3 to roughly age 12 where your kids are not only easy (comparatively to bottles & diapers), but are going to be these beautiful little creatures and it will pain your heart to be away from them for too long. So, prepare in your 20's, financially and career wise, to build that flexibility into that chapter of your life".
You don't get another shot at living the "golden window". And, for me, leaning hard into that golden window has made everything else in my life feel fairly insignificant in comparison. I have made plenty of mistakes as a father, but what I won't have is the regret of having been distracted and absent from these formative years. In some cases, that has required financial sacrifices (declining a particular career opportunity that would have required relocation), but I personally have zero regrets.
I also hear from some ambitious & successful people with a 4 year old that say "I've lost my ambition, I am so immersed in fatherhood". At least for me, and a number of my friends, it comes back. You can't keep an ambitious person down and if you have the fire, hanging at a playground on too many Tuesday afternoons is going to feel like torture after too long.
My three boys are approaching 13, 11 & 9, and it's much different than 7, 5 & 3. This summer, for example, they slept until 11am and I hard an unencumbered 6am-12pm to work (being on PT helps), then got another great window 7-11pm, but was able to be present in the heart of the day, then weeks when they were at basketball camp, etc. It gets easier, your time frees up again (there's a sadness to that too), but I'm back to working as intensely as I did pre-kids just because my day to day presence requires fewer hours than it did before (also, my wife is just superbly wonderful). And that is the beautiful gift of entrepreneurship (or at least my sort of business), the ability to deliver still a high level of output but work that around your life rather than the opposite.
TLDR, grind before, and grind after. Prepare for the golden window.
The left love using Saint George as an excuse to sneer at Englishness, as if pointing out he wasn’t born in England somehow weakens what he represents.
He was a Greek Christian from Cappadocia in the Roman Empire, born centuries before the Turks arrived in Anatolia. He was not Turkish.
Nor was he Palestinian. Saint George lived around AD 280–303, more than three centuries before the Arab conquest of Palestine in the 630s. He lived under Roman rule and was a Christian martyr of the Roman Empire.
England chose Saint George because he stood for courage, honour and unwavering Christian faith. He refused to renounce Christ and died a martyr.
The dragon represents good against evil, faith against fear and courage against cowardice. That is why his Cross became England’s flag.
Christ is King.

🚨How the New Rich are building generational wealth & crushing everyone who doesn’t have this one asset. Just like tech giants did for the last 10 years
HE’S 17, REPORTEDLY MAKING $100K/MONTH FROM FACELESS ROBLOX SHORTS.
And the crazy part is imagining where this could take him by 30.
He never shows his face.
AI writes the scripts.
Another tool handles the editing.
He doesn’t even film the content himself.
He reportedly uploads 12 Shorts every day.
The story goes:
Year 1: Nobody believed him. His family gave him one year to make it work.
Year 2: The channel took off, and four supercars reportedly appeared in the driveway.
While the content keeps running, the revenue keeps coming.
No camera.
No traditional production team.
Just a repeatable system built around AI, Roblox content, and short-form distribution.
The kids who laughed at him are still sitting in class.
He’s already building something most people spend decades trying to achieve.
And he’s got 13 years before he even turns 30.
I find it absolutely crazy that you can open any AI tool. Claude, GPT, Grok. And literally ask it to guide you through making money. Ask it for a plan. Have it interview you to find what you're good at. Have it create you a 90 day roadmap. Then install Claude Code, Codex, Cursor. And literally have it build that business in front of your eyes. The offer, the ICP, personal brand, deliverables, all of it. We live in a time where everything that used to take 6 months of trial and error, thousands in courses, and a team of people can now be done by one person with a laptop in 30 days. And most people will still not do it.
