Instead, homesteading is a luxury feeling of self sufficiency from people who have skills and expertise... and a reliable source of income.
So get a good job. Learn a trade like mechanic, plumber, welder, etc. Build up some income. Get a homestead friendly property. Slowly use your money to build up self sufficiency: grow a garden, produce your own power, raise chickens, etc.
You don't go cold turkey off the grid. You wean yourself off step by step. And you'll always need your source of income.
