OFI 1164: Quiet Desperation No More! | Rural America Is Our Walden

I woke up this morning and was immediately inspired by a YouTube clip profiling many of the motivational things that Joe Rogan has said on his podcast.  You can watch the clip here. This took me down a path of thinking and really got me thinking about the deeper meaning of what we are trying to do by searching for this elusive, rural and agricultural lifestyle.  So, today I went down the philosophical path (as much as I am capable of doing that). Here are my notes from this morning: Thoreau - Walden Hunting camp - save up vacation time to go live like native Americans did for a one week period Clip from Joe Rogan (put link in post) Easier to take chances when you are young Harder when you are older with more responsibility. Story about not being able to leave his job because of lifestyle My story about taking one risk and having one shot because of my age and responsibility. Do the math on investing early (use the investment calculator) Joe Rogan quote about planting the seed of an idea and nurturing it until it turns into something. The rut of traffic, followed by a soul sucking job followed by traffic followed by escaping into the television.  Followed by overbuying to self medicate and being pushed harder into the rut. One of my favorite streams of revenue is selling eggs and I literally make no money. https://youtu.be/u4taz6dfPQc
