>>2361353>>2363586very true, if you dont live in an area with running water investing in silver and solar are your best investments at this time; silver is in solar panels, and silver is only going to get more expensive as time goes on, possibly exponentially as supply gets exhausted since people are appropriately dumping their fiat into it. silver is a good hedge against inflation, and i recommend stacking it. but on the other side of things; build a well, if it rains with any degree of frequency get collection tubs (free potable water). if you have running water anywhere on your property, you could set up DIY hydro, and get free electricity; you can probably use your pond for this too. solar + hydro is most ideal since solar panels degrade year over year for like 4 years until they only absorb 60% of their original capacity (meaning whats sufficient when you buy them, likely wont be in 5 years unless you buy extra panels to future proof) you should also research the fuck out of compost if you havent yet, knowing what to do with the fucking excrement you and your animals produce can really help you save money; building a compost toilet and shitting outside might be a beneficial starting (time) investment. consider reading up on how to care for the fruit youre already growing (im assuming you inherited those, and dont know when the optimal picking time is and things) and consider selling them at a local market yourself or selling them to a seller at a local market OR to a local grocery chain, thats basically free money since i dont think they require a lot of work to maintain or pick. you can also try to sell directly to restaurants.
i eat a lot of meat, in my own ideal situation id be able to have enough meat to eat some at least twice a week, which is achievable with a big freezer and focusing on chickens and cows/ another type of meat, if i were you id make a large chicken pen, have lots of chicken at first (eggs+meat) and a few cows (/out/ of characters)
