Share your journey towards self-sufficiency

I’m looking for writers to speak from experience.
I’m looking for freelance writers who are using their skills and income to create self-sufficient lifestyles. This can mean purchasing land, a van, building a tiny home. This can include cultivating skills like gardening, raising animals, or woodworking and construction.
Your task would be to create a one-page journey on alt.work; to describe what you have done so far, come up with your next milestone, and decide what information and how much in financial resources your will need to continue your work. Journeys are not a narrative but are a series of sections that include, text, tags, and pictures. The world count is not more than 200. The payment per one piece would equal your hourly rate.
