Today we’re meeting an Oregonian who does an impressive amount of homesteading. How did you become interesting in saving money? I think I first got interested in money by … not having any! so I just needed to spend money carefully and save if I could. I have always wanted to save money for the future.

We realized that we wanted to travel as a family and the only thing keeping us from seeing the world was money. Daniel can work anywhere there is an internet connection and the kids can homeschool anywhere, but we didn’t have the money to buy the plane tickets or book AirBnB apartments. We sold our house so now we are on Baby Step 4!

In January, I only ventured into Target because our daughters wanted to go and spend some of their Christmas gift money. After shopping locally at some furniture stores, I resorted to Craigslist and spent hundreds less on a new-to-her dresser. Surprisingly I was able to walk out with nothing for myself.

These savvy methods can help you save money on kids’ sport gear. Secondhand gear should work just fine and will give your child an opportunity to try the sport out before you invest a lot of money. Buy Secondhand Equipment. Don’t Buy High-End Equipment.
