Your Dream to become a Homemaker: How to Make the Numbers Work

Living a Simple Life with a Back Porch View

Lately, we’ve been hearing the catchphrase ‘When the BIG one hits’ quite a bit. What it refers to is the rumor of a ‘big’ storm, or the ‘big’ recession, or even the ‘big’ hit of an EMP, social collapse, or even war right here in our own country.

We’ve all probably heard the rumors, used the phrase, and thought about what our future will look like if it does happen. But that particular BIG one is something we can’t control. However, there is another BIG one we can control, and isn’t a rumor – it’s very real to us. This BIG one is our BIG dream. The one we have to quit our day job and stay home.

Now, wait. Before you think this one may not apply to you. You may love your job, or you may be the sole provider for your family, so staying home isn’t an option. Although I will focus on what it takes to fulfill the dream of staying home, there will still be ideas that apply to your BIG dream. You may have to think outside the box a bit, but the same principles still apply.
