Our
first plan had with it many questions to figure out like how to finance
this change in lifestyle and then how to sustain ourselves once we
got there. We first decided to try to save as much money as we could
over a 10-15 year period. I was working as a full time computer programmer,
as well as did some moonlighting on the side. Sharon was working full
time for a record/publishing company. We were trying to figure out
a path where we could invest and save enough money so we could eventually
live off of or at least supplement our income from interest. Unfortunately... or perhaps fortunately we had fires burning on every end. In addition to being stimulated by this quest for a new understanding, we were both also working more than full time. Eventually we just started getting burned out from the idea and process of making money and this fast, pretentious way of living life. I guess it was at just the right moment and just the right time other books, friends, and coincidences occurred that slowed us down enough to reevaluate and think. A dream 10 to 15 years down the road was so hard to keep in perspective. It slowly came into focus the reality that we only have today and who knows what will be in 10-15 years, how much land will be available and how much it will cost, if our family would still be alive and healthy, and so many other things that are uncertain. So we began reevaluating our dream and current lifestyle and decided now was the time for life changes.
