@leahshomestead: This video hit over 1 million views, and the comments were… interesting. 😂 Apparently I’m secretly rich, my dreadlocks smell, and living on a family compound could never work. So I thought I’d answer some of the biggest assumptions people made. The truth is, we built this life because we were willing to do things differently—not because we had more money. We chose smaller homes, built them ourselves, and prioritized freedom over keeping up with what society says success should look like. You don’t have to agree with our choices, but I hope this reminds you that a 60-second video rarely tells the whole story. #Homesteading #FamilyCompound #SimpleLiving

Steve the Stove :

6 acres is still more than 99% of people can afford - but still, that doesn't mean it's wrong that you have land to live on

alex bethea :

people think that is a lot of land. and dont think they can build themselves. the issue is people sell themselves short, then get pissed at those who dont

I bought old mobile homes and I remodeled them to double wise back 24 years ago I paid 20,000 for practically almost a whole brand new home

Jeannie Yoder :

We are not rich… we worked hard and we tried to use the money we had wisely!

Luz & Nagi :

It feels like this is the right thing to do, rather than being manipulated by capitalism and accepting high housing prices that are hard to afford and close to unpayable.

jason white :

community family support living is actually richer lifestyle than living beyond your means

Auriel :

its called land sharing it was popular in the 17-1800s multiple families on one plot of land, its like multiple generations living in one home sharing resources. 🙂

serverel :

it's because everyone assumes most people are like ballerina farms who's actually a millionaire but likes to larp the same thing to be relatable. now a lot of people assume everyone who's living this way is probably secretly rich too. it should be pretty obvious to most you aren't like that so idk why people can't just stop and think for a whole minute lol
