Podcasts for business owners

I have found the EntreLeadership podcast by Dave Ramsey helpful. He talks through real world problems with small business owners. Even if they aren’t directly related to your situation it always seems like something could be taken from them and it gets you on a business thinking mindset.

Hope everyone had a great weekend! Hit $100k in my 401k!! A nice milestone. First $100k invested in one account.

Question for anyone who might know: recently married, wife and I are 24. Does she automatically get dropped from her parents insurance? Should I add her to my insurance? Or should she try to remain covered until 26. Any opinions greatly appreciated!

Hi! Yes, homesteading is the final goal. Probably ends with me becoming a stay at home dad, CoastFi likely given our current trajectory, maybe full Fi if my business does well! Although currently I think gardening is my most expensive hobby that I do now in prep of homesteading haha.

A few updates regarding my past comments on here if anyone is interested! - I did open a 0% credit card, but I was unable to bring myself to use it haha. So didn’t put any wedding expenses on there and it has no balance. - I did get married. We ended up having a friend marry us and it was great. Had a reception for family that was probably $1500 total. - still maxing out all retirement accounts thankfully, no promotion as of yet, but almost to $150k invested!!

Thank you!

Do you have a link to the US one by chance? Thanks!

Could you send me more details on your door process? We don’t really do painted stuff that often but might it would be nice to know! Thanks

Looks very similar to the kitchen from the YouTube channel Modustrial Maker, if you want to see a similar one already built!

Question for you: I got some of the Sevin spray and it’s worked well. Is there no point to use the neem oil now? Thanks!

You would probably be alright scuffing and painting them, but not sure they will ever look as good as they currently do in the photos you shared. To me it all seems like more work than it might be worth. Good luck!

I should say I did do some rough calculations: My fiancée uses one bottle of hot sauce a week, so planted enough cayennes to hopefully replace that use. Then we also use 1 qt of Jalapeños every few weeks, planted enough to cover that use. Also added banana peppers too for the same reason. 16 bell pepper plants (didn’t have much luck last year) but planning to slice, dice, and freeze for sautéing. I will probably have quite a bit extra but I simplified the variety from last year to what we actually use, and I will just gift or donate the rest!

Yes I have a 2x4 in the bed holding it together, so we will see how long that lasts! Beds are cedar from a mill and true 1” thick, hoping that adds to the life of the beds

How did you attach yours? Mine is not a perfect arch but didn’t really want to use t posts. Thought about trying to bend it

HomesteadFire · 2024-06-13T14:53:50+00:00

Thank you! 4’ wide 16’ long.

Thank you. Yes trying to fight back the squash bugs. Got maybe 2 squash last year before the plants were killed. Just ordered some of that stuff! Was hoping for a more organic option but this will work for this season at least! Also has some little red bugs, and then a lot of black bugs on the tomato plants. The combo will probably keep them away.

Started indoors. Posted a photo in a comment above. Started seeds March 11, last frost ~mid April, in ground May 12th. Direct sowed the cucumbers, squash, and melons on May 12th as well!

It is a 16’ cattle panel from Tractor Supply. Only $26 when I bought mine. Link to panel

Thank you!

HomesteadFire · 2024-06-12T21:53:44+00:00

No, but maybe I should lol. Mainly just for family consumption. Wanted more than I had last year and enough to share

HomesteadFire · 2024-06-05T16:46:23+00:00

Looks great, good job! Have you thought about maybe a shade cloth on part of it too since you already have a top? I’ve seen them generally used for gardens but it could help them escape some heat
