As I write this, I’m sitting at a wooden dining table in a comfortable chair while my daughter prepares breakfast. My wife has already fed the chickens this morning, and now she’s in the conservatory with our indoor vegetable garden.
The front door is open, a gentle breeze blows through, and my dog begs for some attention with his head on my knee.
I can’t hear anything outside, except an occasional rooster crowing. No traffic, no loud neighbors, no sirens… just birds singing, and a gentle breeze.
We’ve built an off-grid homestead on a shoestring budget, always maximizing what we could achieve with the absolute minimum financial investment. The results have been about a 90% savings over the cost of purchasing a similar home. Our total investment thus far comes to about $28,000 for a 3-bedroom home on 5.5 acres with a well, septic, two barns, and 4.5 KW of solar power. Similar lands nearby are valued around $250,000. All of our bills (literally everything except food and fun money) total $4,000 annually, or $334/month. With such low expenses, I work outside the home 2 days a week, volunteer at a local art cooperative, and still get to take 3 days off every week to goof off with my family. We spend a lot of time in the National Forest, or on a nearby lake. My wife and I exercise twice a day on some home gym equipment, and are in the best physical shape of our lives, as we approach our forties. Since we have more time at home, we are able to eat a healthy diet of scratch cooking, with virtually zero processed foods.
So, how did we do it? Read the book to find out!

Store description
We first started out as “The Paperback Exchange,” a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.…
