The basic principles of Homestead Dividends…This is an organic, living document that may change a bit over the years, but is a good basic statement of what I believe and why I believe it.
These Principles Include:

• The Homestead Dividends model is for all people for all walks of life.
• A person’s home is their castle.
• Live as self-sufficiently/reliantly as possible.
• Assume food grown elsewhere is inferior.
• Family always comes first.
• Be a good neighbor.
• Always live within the law.
• Assume a disaster will happen and prepare accordingly.
• Act in terms of what grandmother/father would do.
• Improve the utility of your house. (Always be improving your house/homestead)
• Make your house beautiful
• Avoid “paying into the system” as much as possible–DIY, Barter, etc.
• Keep a low profile.
• There is no one right way to live
• Homestead Dividends is about taking homesteading and home/life improvement into the 21st century.
