Live Self Sufficient

In the current environment the work force is facing 10% unemployment, obesity and other health related concerns continue to get worse and worse, credit value as the housing market falls further and retirement is a dream turned nightmare for many. A sobering opening? Well that is why learning how to be self reliant in this day and age is something all people should strive for.

Health: The more self reliant you are, the more you are forced to do in a day. If you are not paying someone to mow your lawn, to rake your leaves, to clean your gutters you are doing it yourself. If you don’t pay someone to walk your dog, paint your house or reseed your lawn you are doing it yourself. The more self reliant you are in your every day life the more active you become and the more self sufficient you are, the healthier you are. Not everyone has the motivation or time to carve out to exercise but if you exercise by just learning to be self reliant and not depend upon others you will burn calories naturally by just maintaining your day to day living.

Money: If you can be self reliant and not pay someone to do something you are capable to do you can put that money in the bank. Each time you get lazy and grow less self sufficient and outsource a task you could have done you gave away your hard earned cash. That cash in this current environment could have gone into the bank for a rainy day. The best example of cash savings is dining. It will always be cheaper in the long run to buy groceries and cook for yourself than to eat out on a daily basis. Cheaper, and healthier to be self reliant. When you learn to live self sufficient you find all aspects of your life improves as you work harder and force yourself not to be lazy.
