When you think about monthly bills food is not normally the
first thing to pop up. Usually rent, electric or auto insurance or the most
common first thoughts and your food budget often is a second thought. For some
of us our food budget is whatever is left after paying every other bill, but
what we eat is directly related to our health and energy levels. So if you’re a
follower of my blog you’ll known I like to make list. I think they are a fast
way to convey a point in the simplest way possible so here is a list of reasons
to consider starting with lowering your food bill first in random order.<o:p></o:p></div>

your budget to start to lower those bill. But to lower your food bill cost you
nothing. Don’t believe me? Message me, I can show you how to build garden boxes
for free, fill those garden boxes with soil for free, and then get free starts
and seed to plant. I am so sure of this that I put my number on our Facebook

getting started. <o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%;">People who grow their own food eat on a hole
more cold foods then cooked foods. It’s just logic having access to more fresh berries
and fruits and salad greens you just have to cook less snacks and lunches this
means that you use less power cooking and so as a result of lowering your food
bill your power bill will go down as well (not always true but in some cases) </span>Carl Stanleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03970702993432910471noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365445527694238784.post-9382354428056422342017-06-15T04:52:00.000-07:002017-06-15T04:52:17.789-07:00Is it time for a new civil war in America ?<div class="OutlineElement Ltr SCX219925683" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; background-color: white; clear: both; cursor: text; direction: ltr; font-family: "Segoe UI", Tahoma, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 8px; margin: 0px; overflow: visible; padding: 0px; position: relative; user-select: text;">

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Everyone knows American workers are aging, but farmers are older
than workers in almost any other occupation. According to the Labor Department,
the median age for farmers and ranchers is 55.9 years<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It’s not just that farmers are among America’s oldest
workers – their average age also has been growing rapidly for about 30 years,
according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Census of Agriculture, which
in 2012 released new data. This census, which is published every five years,
shows that during the last 30 years, the average age of U.S. farmers has grown
by nearly eight years, from 50.5 years to 58.3 years.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It’s important to remember that this figure includes only
principal operators, meaning any large farms that have one farmer at the helm
but other, younger farmers helping out will only have that one farmer. So in
truth it is a looks a little worse thin it is. And this was taken in 2012 so
you have to add 5 years to it. Making the average age 63.3 year old this means
in the next <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
One thing that might keep some young people out of farming
could be the barriers to entry – land prices skyrocketed in recent years, and
some equipment, like tractors and combines, can cost hundreds of thousands of
dollars. But you do not need these things to be a farmer it is only the common perception
that you do that is keeping people out of becoming farmers. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Being counted in the census does not require heavy
investment – an operation need only have the potential to produce $1,000 worth
of agricultural goods in a year to count as a “farm.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This is why even though Manabu farms only use’s homes in the
city with just back and front lawns that we can say we have 21 farm lots in 4
states, because any property if used right will have the potential to produce way
over $1,000 worth of agricultural goods in a year. (On a side note here any law
that is passed about framing that you hear the media saying will not affect
your garden at home will if you have used your land correctly.)<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As of the 2007 census of agriculture, there were 2.2 million
farmers<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In 2012, the United States had 2.1 million farmers<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
And it just keeps getting less and less each year<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Historically, most Americans have left the workforce some
time before age 65. Indeed, SmartAsset's analysis of U.S. Census Bureau data
found that the national average retirement age is 63 years old. At the state
level, it ranges from 62 to 65.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Know these facts
means that this year and every year after this we are going to have more and
more people on this planet and less and less farmers.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Why is this? Well I believe the largest factor is the perception
of farming. Let’s face it kids do not want to be farmers in this day and age
when we can all be anything we want. When, if you want to learn a new skill it
is just a YouTube search away. Kids these days want to be something cool and
can learn how to easily. Back in the day if you wanted to be a musician you
needed to find and hire someone to teach you. So many kids then where okay not
always happy about it but okay with following in their families footsteps and
keep the farm going. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
If we want to safe farming we need to look for ways to make
farming cool again and to do that we first need to have a definition of two
things. What is cool? And what is a farm?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Cool<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Finding a definition of cool, neat, or exciting is hard to
do as what is “cool” for one person is not always “cool” for another and even
in one’s own life time what is cool
changes how many of us look back at our old stile 10 or 15 years ago and say OMG
what was I thinking back then. Cool also has gender lines just look at movies
and the terms chick flick or guy movie. So how do you define something that changes
with time and by each person? Well we look for concepts that have stood the
test of time and have a larger age group. Things that have always been at least
kind of cool in one way or another. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Farm<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Well as we said earlier the difference between a farm and a
home garden is the potential to produce a $1,000 worth of agricultural goods in
a year. So there for a farm is not determined by size
of land or location and any home can become a farm. Manabu farms lot #6 started
in a upstairs apartment with no yard at all. By selling Micro-Greens that can be grown in
almost any space and selling at the farmers market made more than $1000 a year
before it used its profits to buy a home that had land to farm on. Any home no
matter how small can be a farm!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So what has worked for me?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Well as for the Cool the way I chose to go about it was
this.<br />
for a long time now Americans have idolized The “outlaw” wither it be the dime novels of the old west or
more modern things like Sons Of Anarchy, or oceans 11 and so forth, we as
Americans like to think of outlaws being more like Robin Hood, Then hardened
killer’s. With more and more city’s making laws that take away your right’s to
grow food the way you want in the city, they are making urban farming into
outlaw farming. And I say we embrace it! We at Manabu Farms call ourselves a
outlaw farm club and have helped a lot of youth avoid gangs and still find that
family they are looking for if people that will stand by their side. We did
this by setting up a clear set of by laws for are farm club.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This allowed us to join together with our community members
and stand up for what we believed in and that was good food grown locale. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Over the years the club has grown and now does a lot more than
just grow food, we now also produce more than our own power needs. We harvest
and create out of the air most of our own water needs in some places more then
we need. And have been empowering our members to each own their own home based
profitable business, and I am not talking some chain thing but each unique business
based off of that members skills and wants. After all the entire goal for a
home based business is to do something you enjoy and make money at it. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
If you’re interested in helping change the way we look at
farming and becoming free of all monthly bills. <o:p></o:p></div>

Farms colors. Four are called rockers,
one is the rocker that says “Manabu Farms”. The second rocker from the top down
is the patch that reads “We Feed the People”.
The third patch is a square patch with the letters “FC” standing for
Farm Club. The fourth patch is called
the center patch and is the hardest to earn, it’s the Manabu Farms logo and it
means you’re a member in the club. Seeds
do not get the right to wear the center patch until they become full
members. The fifth patch, the last
rocker, states your position in the club like Member, Seed, Farmer, or
Supporter. The last rocker states the
county that you live in.<o:p></o:p></div>

In most towns it is illegal to be homeless. Homelessness
is not what I am talking about when I say living somewhere for free. It is
a fact that needs to be looked at when talking about our freedoms that are

First we have all heard the crazy stories about people being
arrested for gathering rainwater and while most of them end up not being 100%
true some of them are not. Let’s look at it from a different prospective. Did you
know that if you have a rainwater collection system hooked up to, let’s say your bathroom, and the
city finds out, most of them will issue you a removal order. If you fight it
you will end up in court. <o:p></o:p></div>

In 99% of towns it is against the law to not be connected to the public water system and waste water removal, which you must pay for. This
is a big one. I mean if the city attacks you about this they come with the big guns.
If you have kids, the first thing they do is attack you by opening a child
protective services case against you. Next they attack you with health code violations
and it just gets worst from there. </div>

<h3>
Here's a list of the top ten benefits of the Moringa
Oleifera Tree!</h3>
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
1. In most cultures, the Moringa Oleifera is referred to as
the Miracle Tree or The Tree of Life and the majority of it is edible and can
be consumed by all ages. This means that the tree is truly useful.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
2. Moringa contains more that 90 nutrients, 46 antioxidants,
and 36 anti-inflammatory compounds. It also has 18 amino acids, including the 9 essentials that our bodies need to survive but cannot manufacture ourselves
(and must be supplied through diet). All this is 100% naturally occurring in
the Moringa, whereas most multivitamins and calcium supplements available on
the market are made using synthetic ingredients that the human body absorbs
very minimal nutrients from. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
3. The flowers can be cooked down and are said to taste of
mushrooms. The flower juice is useful for treating urinary problems and as a
natural laxative. Tea made from the flowers has also been used as a common cold
remedy, that really works. I do not know how many times I have felt a cold coming on, and I drank this as tea and never gotten sick. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
4. The seeds can be eaten like peas or roasted like nuts but
are often ground into powder and used in treatment of scurvy skin diseases,
insect bites, arthritis, rheumatism, gout, cramps, STDs, and boils, due to their
antibiotic and anti-inflammatory properties. They have been used as a relaxant
for epilepsy. And after oil has been extracted, the seed cake can be used as
fertilizer or to purify water. (Yes my fellow Flint MI residents, I said purify water. Even that nasty lead tainted water we are all dealing with.) <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
5. The oil extracted from the seeds can resist rancidity and
is used to treat bladder and prostate problems, as well as stomach disorders.
It can relieve headaches when rubbed on the temples and is also used in
perfumes, skin care, and hair oil. It is also being studied for its potential
as a biofuel. It is easy enough to use as a cooking oil or even a lamp oil.<o:p></o:p><br />

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
6. The leaves are commonly known as the most nutritious part
of the Moringa and have no proven side effects to this date. Gram for gram,
these leaves have 7 times the Vitamin C of an orange, 4 times the Vitamin A of
carrots and calcium of milk, 3 times the potassium of bananas, the Vitamin E of
spinach, and the iron of almonds, and 2 times the protein of yogurt. Regularly
consuming Moringa leaves has been linked to a boosted immune system, lower
blood pressure, improved digestion and mood, and weight loss due to its high
fiber and low fat and calorie levels. They’re also regularly used to treat
fevers, bronchitis, anemia, and eye and ear infections.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
7. The roots and bark are used to relieve lower back or
kidney pain, for cardiac and circulatory problems, and as a condiment (much
like horseradish), tonic, or tea for inflammation and digestion. (the roots and
bark have all of the properties above but are more concentrated and should have
more care taken when used as a medicine because the alkaloid spirachin (a
nerve-paralyzer) has been found in the roots). <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
8. Moringa has been used as a sexual virility supplement to treat
erectile dysfunction in men and increase sex drive (as an aphrodisiac) in
women. It has also been known to prevent pregnancy. In case a woman is having a
baby, it will increase and nourish breast milk production. I can not say if this is true or not but both myself and my wife admit that eating this has given us more energy, even at the end of the day (If you know what I mean). So maybe that is what it means by a sexual virility supplement.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
9. In Jamaica, the sap is used for a blue dye and in Haiti
the trees are grown as windbreaks and to help reduce soil erosion because it is
fast growing (Flowering begins within the first 6 months of planting) and drought resistant. It is also in full-leaf at the end of the dry season when
most other foods are typically scarce. with proper drying methods you will never run out of this plant. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
10. Moringa has been advocated as, a natural nutrition for
the tropics, and is being used to combat malnutrition (due to its high protein
and fiber content) by major NGOs such as Trees for Life International,
Educational Concerns for Hunger Organization, and Volunteer Partnerships for
West Africa.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
But beware that with the awareness increasing of the
benefits of Moringa products. Demand is skyrocketing and there’s already low
quality product control happening. Be sure to read your labels and make sure
the product you want has only 100% Moringa Oleifera with no fillers or
additives, If you buy this to try it. In truth it grows so fast you can just buy a plant and know what your getting. <o:p></o:p></div>

How to Plant, Cultivate, Grow Moringa</h3>
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
What could be easier than walking into your yard, and
gathering healthy leaves from your own grown Moringa plants to put on the
table?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The Moringa plant is a fast-growing, drought resistant tree
that can reach up to 15 feet in its first year.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The Moringa tree is very easy to grow. Simply plant seeds or
cuttings in a sunny spot. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The Moringa tree is a plant that grows mainly in
semiarid, subtropical areas. but it can be grown anywhere the only downside is if it is not grown in a subtropical area, it most likely will not produce seed pods, but the leaves are the best part anyways! <o:p></o:p></div>

Moringa Oleifera grows best in direct sunlight under 1600 feet altitude. It
tolerates a wide range of soil conditions, but prefers a neutral to slightly
acidic (pH. 6.3-7.0), well-drained sandy or loamy soil. but in
waterlogged soil the roots have a tendency to rot. (In areas with heavy
rainfall, trees can be planted on small hills to encourage water run-off).
Presence of a long taproot makes it resistant to periods of drought. Trees can
be easily grown from seed or from cuttings. Temperature ranges are 25-35
degrees Celsius (0-95 degrees Fahrenheit), but the tree will tolerate up to 48
degrees in the shade and it can survive a light frost. with out ant help by cutting your tree down at the start of winter and covering the ground around the tree with hot compost high in manure and then a layer of straw Lastly cover the area with a tarp or plastic dome. and uncover in spring after the last frost. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Moringa seeds have no dormancy period, so they can be
planted as soon as they are mature and they will retain the ability to
germinate for up to one year. Older seeds only have spotty germination.
Moringa trees will flower and fruit annually and in some regions twice
annually. During its first year, a Moringa tree will grow up to 16 feet in
height and produce flowers and fruit. Left alone, the tree can eventually reach 40 feet in height with a trunk 2 feet wide; however, the tree can be annually
cut back to one meter from the ground. The tree will quickly recover and
produce leaves and pods within easy reach. Within three years a tree will yield
400-600 pods annually and a mature tree can produce up to 1,600 pods. </div>

Use poly bags or pots the bigger the pot the better I have even grown some thier hole life in a trashcan. The soil mixture for the pots should
be light, with. 3 parts soil to 1 part sand. Plant two or three seeds in each pot, one to two inches deep. Keep moist but not too wet. Germination will
occur within 5 to 12 days, depending on the age of the seed and pre-treatment
method used. Remove extra seedlings, leaving one in each sack. Seedlings can be
out-planted when they are 2-3 feet tall. <o:p></o:p></div>

HARVESTING</h3>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When harvesting pods for human consumption, harvest when the
pods are still young and snap easily. Older pods
develop a tough exterior, but the white seeds and flesh remain edible until the
ripening process begins.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When producing seed for planting or for oil extraction,
allow the pods to dry and turn brown on the tree. In some cases, it may be
necessary to prop up a branch that holds many pods to prevent it breaking off.
Harvest the pods before they split open and seeds fall to the ground. Seeds can
be stored in well-ventilated sacks in dry, shady places.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
For making leaf sauces, harvest seedlings, growing tips or
young leaves. Older leaves must be stripped from the tough and wiry stems.
These older leaves are more suited to making dried leaf powder since the stems
are removed in the pounding and sifting process. <o:p></o:p></div>

Whether you are farming for profit, or just trying to feed
your family with a home garden, buying seeds can end up being a big part of your
budget. I am always on the lookout for
ways to lower this cost. In my last post I talked about a way to have endless
fruit trees. If you have not seen it, click this link (<a href="http://manabufarms.blogspot.com/2017/04/how-to-tree-farm-for-profit.html">tree farmer</a>). Now this week, we are going to show you another
way to have endless starts, We at Manabu Farms (<a href="https://www.facebook.com/manabufarms2/">Facebook link</a>) call this method
“Up- planting”, and it can provide you
with an almost endless supply of many plants. Below is a list of plants we have done on the farm,<o:p></o:p></div>

Are a bit tricky start by, removing the seeds from
strawberry with a toothpick or by mashing a raspberry through a strainer. Then
Rinse the seeds off, so no fruit is left on them, then let them dry off
completely. Fill a container almost all
the way with soil and flick the seeds into it. Cover seeds with ¼ inch of soil.
Spray water on seeds, repeat every other day. Leave seeds in sunlight. Watch
for seeds to sprout. Transfer to your garden or a larger pot once sprouts grow
their third leaves.<o:p></o:p><br />

Way 2:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Tomato suckers, or side shoots, are the growth that appears
in the crotch between the stem and a branch of a tomato plant. You can tell it
is a sucker and not a normal branch when flowering starts if it does not have
flowers on it is a sucker and will do you no good to leave it on your plant
instead follow the steps below to turn it into a new tomato plant. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Select a healthy, 4- to 6-inch-long sucker to remove from
the mature tomato plant. To find a sucker, look for a thin shoot growing
between two main branches. Pinch the base of the sucker between your thumb and
forefinger, and bend it from side to side until it snaps off. Alternatively,
use gardening clippers or scissors to cut the sucker off at the base. Pick the
lower leaves off the bottom of the sucker. Fill a 4-inch pot with potting soil
and plant the sucker in the soil with the cut end pointing down. Check the
sucker for root growth daily, indicated by new growth at the tip of the
cutting. Roots begin to grow in about four days, and the plant is ready for
transplanting to a larger container in seven to 10 days. Fill a 3- to 5-gallon
container with potting soil after seven to 10 days have passed. Plant the
rooted sucker in the soil, taking care not to disturb the roots. Water
thoroughly. Place the container in a shady spot. Each day, put the container in
a sunny area for a few hours. Gradually increase the amount of sun the plant
gets every day. Plant the tomato seedling in your garden after 10-14 days, if
desired, or plant it in a larger container.<o:p></o:p></div>

Pineapple<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So I almost did not add this one to the list, it is not hard
to grow but take forever before you get fruit and unless you live in the right
area its never going to make you a profit. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Slice the crown of a pineapple off so that there is as
little fruit attached as possible. Pluck
the leaves off so that about 5 inches of the crown is bare. Leave crown in a
sunny spot to dry for 2-7 days Place seed in a glass of water, relying on the
toothpicks to hold it up so that only the bottom quarter of the seed is in the
water (pointed end should be facing up out of the water). Change water once a
week Roots should form in about 2-3
weeks. Transfer to Soil once roots reach about 2-3 inches<o:p></o:p></div>

Lettuce , Bok Choy and cabbage are relatively easy to grow
from scraps. Instead of throwing out those leftover leaves, simply place them
in a bowl with just a bit of water in the bottom. Keep the bowl somewhere that
gets good sunlight and mist the leaves with water a couple of times each week.
After 3 or 4 days, you will notice roots beginning to appear along with new
leaves. When this happens you can transplant your lettuce or cabbage in soil.<o:p></o:p></div>

Now here is a video on a way to make any cabbage plant give
your family a endless supply of cabbage. <o:p></o:p></div>

Celery is one of the easiest foods to grow from leftover
scraps. Just cut off the bottom or base of your celery and lay it in a bowl
with just a bit of warm water in the bottom. Keep the bowl in direct sunlight
as long as possible each day and after about a week, you will begin to see the
leaves thickening and growing along the base. When this happens, you can
transplant your celery in soil and wait for it to grow to full length.<o:p></o:p></div>

If you love using lemongrass but have a difficult time

Bean Sprouts<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
You love cooking with bean sprouts you can grow them
yourself as well. You just need to soak a tablespoon or so of the beans that
you want to grow in a jar with shallow water. Leave this overnight and in the
morning, drain the water off and put the beans back in the container. Cover the
container with a towel overnight and rinse them the next morning. Keep doing
this until you notice the sprouts begin to appear and then until they reach the
size that you want. This works well with mung beans and wheat berries.<o:p></o:p></div>

Potatoes<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Virtually everyone knows that potatoes can be grown from
potato peelings. You need peelings that have eyes on them. Cut those peelings
into two inch pieces, ensuring that there are at least two or three eyes on
each piece. Allow them to dry out overnight and then simply plant them about
four inches deep in your soil. Make sure that the eyes are facing up when
planting. It will take a few weeks before you see the potato plant begin to grow.<o:p></o:p></div>

Sweet Potatoes<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Sweet potatoes can be grown much like regular potatoes. You
just have to suspend it using toothpicks above
a container of shallow water. Roots will begin to appear in just a few days and
sprouts will be seen on top of the potato around that same time. Once those
sprouts reach about four inches or so in length, just twist them off and place
them in a container of water. When the roots from this container reach about an
inch in length, you can plant them in soil. now here is a funny video I did a few years ago that take you through the steps of growing sweet potatoes</div>

Ginger root is very easy to grow and once you get started,
you can keep your supply of ginger full. You just need to plant a spare piece
of your ginger root in potting soil, making sure that the buds are facing up.
You will notice new shoots and new roots in about a week or so and once this
happens you can pull it up and use it again. Remember to save a piece of the
rhizome so that you can replant it and grow more for the next time you need it.<o:p></o:p></div>

Turnips, Carrot, Beets, and Parsnips</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Root plants, turnips grow well from clippings or leftover
scraps. You just need to salvage the tops of the turnip and place in a
container of water. You should notice new green tops growing in just a few days
after you begin. Just allow the root to continue growing until it’s ready to be
transplanted in the ground. This works with many root vegetables such as beets,
turnips and even parsnips<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Onions are very easy to grow indoors or out. You just have
to cut the root of the onion off and make sure that you leave about a half an
inch of onion when you do. Cover lightly with potting soil and keep in a sunny
area. For green onions, simply put the white base with the roots intact in a
container of water and place in direct sunlight. Change the water out every few
days and the green will continue to grow. Just snip what you need and allow it
to grow as long as you like.</div>

Mushrooms<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
You can grow
mushrooms from cuttings, although they are a bit more difficult than many other
vegetables. You will need a warm area with a lot of humidity and soil that is
rich in nutrients. It is much better to grow your mushrooms in a pot as opposed
to in the ground because you have a better shot at controlling the temperature
and the humidity. You just have to cut away the head of the mushroom and plant
the stalk or stem in the soil. Leave the very top exposed and this base will
begin to grow a new head.<o:p></o:p></div>

<u><br /></u></div>
So you want to become a tree farmer? What do you need to know?<br />
<br />
There is no action that can start you on the path to freedom, more then growing and selling your own food. <br />
<br />
<br />
<div>
<h3>
Tree farming can be divided in to three sections</h3>
<br />
1. Starting<br />
<br />
2. Storing<br />
<br />
3. Selling<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<h2>
<u>Section 1: Getting started</u></h2>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The first step in getting ready to become a tree farmer is doing some research. You want to find out what trees grow well in your area. Once you find what type of tree you’re going to grow, you want to find someone who is growing that kind of tree. It is best in most cases for the tree that you find, to be at least three years old. You can work with younger trees but the older the tree, the less time your new tree will need to grow before producing fruit.<br />
<br />
Once you have found your tree and gained permission to clone from it follow the 12 steps below. Before starting, you can at one time, clone about 1/3 of all the branches of a tree without harming the tree. You can push this up to around ½ of the branches of any one tree.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">So here is the real secret to trees. If they do not
sell the first year, their value doubles. You can pick up a newly rooted apple
tree for around $9. Whereas, a one year old tree is going to cost you around $20-$29.
A two year old tree goes for $40- $56. So what do you have to do to make this
extra money? Not a lot. Make sure the roots have enough room to grow, so that the tree
can grow. By transplanting it to a larger pot. A 5 gallon to 7 gallon for a tree up to 1 year old. Larger pots for older trees. Keep them watered and fed, by making, and giving them compost
tea every few months. If you’re in a colder climate you may want to put them in
a greenhouse. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> This
is as easy as it sounds. Post your trees on craigslist, put up signs in stores, and even take
out an ad in the newspaper. If your prices are right, you can make a lot of sales
this way. When pricing for home sales, take in to account, that you did not have
to waste gas driving them to a store or mailing them off. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> Before
you try and sell to stores, invest in a Cottage Industry Licence. It's cheap, and
in some states even free. It will allow you to sell goods made at home. Then you need to take a walk around the store, see the prices they are selling similar products for. If you figure they marked it up by double what they paid for it. So if they are selling
trees for $10 they most likely are buying them for around $5. I suggest that you get your foot
in the door and offer them at $4. If you have saved cash to keep your
business running, then I also recommend this trick. Offering to buy back all
unsold stock at the end of the season at the same price they bought them
from you. This gives the store a guarantee that they will not be stuck with
unsold product. This also allows you to resell them next year at higher price.
Remember this is all about the long game.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

is largely inundated with instant gratification, the natural process of growing
fruit trees may seem like an eternity. It’s not uncommon for people to list
time as one of their top reasons for not growing food — time has less to
do with planting and more to do with waiting; however, any gardener will remind
you that anything worth doing is worth waiting for. So, on average, how long is
it before you should expect to see fruit from your newly planted trees?<o:p></o:p></span><br />

Most passive income ideas will either generate poor returns
or consume lots of your time (not very passive!). So the question is…what really works? I’ve spent 100's of hours thinking about all sorts of crazy
ideas for making passive income. From smart ideas, like an online course, to free and fast
ideas, like writing articles for AdSense, I’ve thought about pretty much every
passive income stream there is. Now I want to share some of my favorite passive income ideas with all of you.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<h2>
What Is Passive Income?</h2>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
First off the word passive can be misleading. It often
brings up ideas of making money without having to do any work. That is just not
true. In truth you will spend lot of time and hard work at the start. Then over
time money will start coming in and you will no longer have to work hard at it, or spend a lot of time doing it.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So let’s get right in to it.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<h2>
1. Create A Blog </h2>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I wanted to start with this one because in my mind it is the
best. It cost you nothing to start! There
are many ways to make money at it. Start just by adding AdSence this will start
you bringing in cash right off the bat. While it will not be a lot. It will
start the ball rolling. Next look in to affiliated
marketing , all you need to concentrate on is pumping out the content for your
own site and getting the traffic in – most people can get an affiliate sale
within 30 days of starting a blog. <o:p></o:p></div>

2. . Sell An eBook</h2>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The much loved model for bloggers and content creators
everywhere and for a good reason…it’s pretty easy to write a 25-80 page eBook. It's not hard to sell say $500 worth a month through online networking, guest
posting, and your own SEO optimized blog, after paying affiliates. Hell yeah! Look at it this way, if the average eBook is 25
pages, and you have made 25 blog post on
the same topic, you just made a Ebook. <o:p></o:p></div>

<h2>
3. Trees, Yes trees! </h2>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It is so easy to graft (clone) trees that
my 6 year old is taking over my tree grafting business this year for me. And cloning
trees is one of the only businesses out there that your unsold product goes up
in value the next year. I know what you’re thinking, “Oh, but Carl, I don’t have
any trees” or “but Carl, I have a black thumb and cannot grow anything.” Let me address both of these one at a time. I
sell only fruit trees. You can make a lot more money off of ornamental crap, but
I believe we are in a WAR ON HUNGER and the only way to win is to grow more
food, so I refuse to grow or sell non edible
plants. Now if you follow me on any of Manabu Farms social media platforms, you
will know that I just started a new farm in Flint MI. Right now I do not have one fruit tree on the
property and as I already said my kid is taking over, so how is she<o:p></o:p></div>

with no trees? Easy, we walked around our neighborhood till we saw someone with
a overgrown apple tree. Then being a little shy and not wanting to go up and knock
on the door we just keep walking by every other day or so till we saw someone
outside. We walked up and commented on
the tree and of course it had a story, one I will save for another post. After talking
with the owner of the tree for a while I offered to come by and trim it back
for him, and explained how he would get a better harvest if it was trimmed up. The
owner was a little hesitant but after I told him that I would also cut him a
clone so he could plant a second tree he was more than happy to have us come
back. A bag of peat moss some empty
water bottles (something Flint has a lot of) and a jar of honey and she was up
and running. If anyone wants more information on how to do this, message me! I will
personally walk you through the whole process. Why would I do this? As I said
we are at war and I need more fighters to join me on the battle field! <br />

4. Sell An Online
Course </h2>
<div>
This is one I cannot tell you a lot about. I am planning on doing this sometime this year. If you blog or YouTube about a subject a lot, you should look into offering classes online. it can be a great source of passive income because once you're done making the course. you're done. You just sit back and watch the cash roll in.</div>

<h2>
5. Create a
Comparison or Review Site</h2>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I really like this idea, but I must confess, I’ve never earned
passive income from a setup like this before. I’ll be putting something
together soon though and really wanted to share this idea with you.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So here’s the way it works; find a niche where there are a
ton of products, all with semi-complex feature mixes – or basically any type of
niche where customers are going “I don’t have a clue what to buy”. For me that
is going to be solar equipment. Now
create a site that first, shares a bunch of useful content (think tutorials,
how-to's etc) on the niche. Secondly review every product/service in that
niche (the pros, cons, verdict etc.). You get bonus points if you communicate this info
through a mix of text, photos, and video.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Plus create a comparison table page where you have every
product listed and rated on a number of features, all side by side. Customers can finally decide what product is
right for them via this bird's-eye view table. Plus the in-depth individual
review articles/videos you will provide. Next to every
product, there is a link to the purchase page of the seller (eg Amazon), and
well you guessed it, those links are affiliate links.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">6. Take Photos and Sell Stock Images </span></b><br />
<br />
This one is not going to make you rich, but it
does become a great hobby to make a profit from. Any time you’re doing anything, you can have those actions making you money. One of the easiest ways to make
this happen is with a camera. If I am out digging in my garden, I have my camera
with me and take shots of everything from a dirt covered shovel, to a rock I found, to clouds passing by. Then put
those pictures and or video clips up on places like shutter stock. You'd
be surprised at what pictures you sell. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<h2>
7. Build an App </h2>
<span style="font-weight: normal;">Apps aren’t that expensive to get made anymore. If you want to create a mainly info-based
app, there are plenty of easy to use programs online for making your own app for a
couple hundred bucks. For less than
$1000 you can just give the idea to someone at one of the hundreds of app
building companies.</span><br />

</o:p>8. Get A Rental
Property</h2>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So this is a great way to make money, but you need to be
smart about it and willing to take some risk. Also, if you cannot afford to outsource
the work that is needed to run this daily, then wait until you have earned a
larger passive income from other ideas before starting this one. The best way to make this work for me at least
was buy up land in the poorest cities. Here in Flint, MI I have found houses you
can buy and own outright for $500. No joke. These houses are trashed, and unless you live in the area you’re going
to have to hire a repair crew to come fix up the place. This can cast you anywhere
from $500 more to $10,000 more so be ready to spend before you make. Then again
if you do not live in the area you’re going to have to hire a property management
company to handle the day to day business. Even if
you do live in the area, you should hire a company anyways. It’s the only
way to make this a passive income, otherwise you will have to find the renters, deal with dally complaints, and more. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Peer to peer lending is basically what the name says. You put a bunch of cash into an online account and then divvy it up among
dozens of people looking for loans around the country. You lend, say $25, to each person (you and a
couple 1000 other people together give that person enough money for their
loan). This takes at least $1000 to
really do right, so it is not a starter idea. Here is a video on how it all
works. I really love this idea as it lets me help out those in need and make money at the same time. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
If this is free and easy to do, why did I save it for
last? Because while I love it and I suggest
you all do it, it also sucks! Unless you’re lucky or really talented, you’re going
to make very little at it. Here is my personal experience with it. I started my YouTube account in 2010, in 2014 I made my first $100. In 2015 I made $200, then I quit making new videos
(I moved off grid) until 2017. In that time, though without doing any work at all, I
made $167. So that was the first passive income I made from YouTube. To this
day I make around 10-40 cents a day off YouTube. I have started putting out more videos now
and I have even started 3 other YouTube channels to try and do different ideas
on how to make money on YouTube. Only time will tell if any of these pan out
better than my true channel. In closing YouTube is great if you're doing it to
spread a message or just for fun. You will make money at it but it will not be
much unless your good at it. </div>

<h3>
Start an eBay Store</h3>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I have never even got something from eBay, let alone sold something on eBay. Out of the 19 families that I have taught to live without monthly bills, two of them make an income off of eBay. I would not call it passive, but it is a home-based income. One way I have seen this work is going to yard sales and flee markets, The person I know that is doing this buys up baby clothes and woman's clothing, washes it, and resells it on eBay. Another way that I have seen this work, is that a young man I know is now living free of all monthly bills. He buys bulk electronics from overseas and then marks them up and sells them on eBay. Both are making more money doing this, then any passive income I am using at this time. <o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">1. Team up, that’s right the fastest way to lower
your rent is to either move in with someone else or to rent out a room or couch
in your place. Depending on how you do this it can cut your bill in half and
start you and another on the path to freedom.</span></div>

<span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">2. Move, that’s right if you’re paying too much
move. If you really want to save money and that is your biggest want more than
the comforts of having your social network at hand, then take a tip from Manabu
Farms and move to a “dying city” we moved to Flint MI partly because the rent
and price to buy a home was dirt cheap. We are buying our home and paying less
than all of our friends that rent back in Humboldt CA. </span><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;"> </span><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">So if you truly want to lower your rent move
to a town that is dying.</span></div>

<span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">3. Do not let your apartment or house just set there
doing nothing for you. Make it earn its keep as well. There are many ways to
start making a passive income. The easiest way in my mind is AdSence,
AdSence will pay you to have ads on your blog, YouTube, or website. </span><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;"> </span><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;"> </span><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">And getting
started is free. We started really trying to make money on this blog that your
reading a few months ago and so far have been able to make around $100 a month
that we use $50 of to pay our internet bill. Meaning technically we are getting
our internet for free, or you could say we get internet for one hour of work a
week. You could use the same trick but pay your rent with it. You should also
look in to selling stock footage and photos. I will be doing a post on this
option soon.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0px;">
<span style="text-indent: -0.25in;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0px;">
<span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">4.Earn rewards by paying your rent online. Many
landlords and property companies only take checks or money orders. If you
prefer to do everything electronically and earn cash back using a
debit/credit card, you can use a free online service, to pay your rent. Sites
like PayYourRent.com and WilliamPaid.com both offer the option to pay using a
cash back rewards credit/debit card. Cash back for paying rent? Yes, please.</span></div>

<span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">5.The tiny house movement. </span><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;"> </span><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">If your good a building or even if you’re not
building a tiny house is a great option to lower your rent. We built our first
tiny home for under $5000. As long as you build it on a frame that has wheels.
You can bypass most building codes and have the freedom to build it the way you
want. </span><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;"> </span><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">Then it is just finding a place to
park it and live.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
1. Use a strong financial history as a bargaining chip. If
you have a steady income, history of paying on time and never missing a rent
payment, use that as a bargaining tool. Apartment managers often get so busy
reminding the other tenants to pay on time, they forget the good, consistent
tenants. So remind them.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
2. Sweeten the pot with your skills and talents. Each of us
has skills and abilities we can use to barter for lower rent payments. Find out
if the complex needs help with marketing and offer ideas on how they can find
new tenants. Keeping the current tenants happy is a big deal too, so plan a
mixer or monthly party. This reinforces a positive community and might help
lower your rent too.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcxg86t7tF1vl74f-_BHY5QoLKuOkgAiRHdZLkc7TivGhre46JB7mOWuEsSSkAzJM596yLTl3WHQqsg8BtSutxazMwNF6agVP_owKMBhdCq7_H5IZiCG5CLEken1qgDjZHnBiNYeuZ7bY/s1600/IMG-Handyman-Skills.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="212" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcxg86t7tF1vl74f-_BHY5QoLKuOkgAiRHdZLkc7TivGhre46JB7mOWuEsSSkAzJM596yLTl3WHQqsg8BtSutxazMwNF6agVP_owKMBhdCq7_H5IZiCG5CLEken1qgDjZHnBiNYeuZ7bY/s320/IMG-Handyman-Skills.jpg" width="320" /></a>3. Work for the apartment manager. If you enjoy DIY projects
or are good at fixing things, you can offer to work for the apartment manager
or landlord on the side. This is one of the most obvious things that comes to
mind when thinking about how to negotiate rent. The apartments managers or
landlords are often quite busy with tenants and the superintendents are overworked.
Do some of the small things like painting, cleaning or collecting rent, in
exchange for a discount off your monthly payment.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
4. Offer to pay a small deductible on any repairs. A new
idea to reducing your rent is to pay a small deductible on any repairs. Offer
to pay up to $150 or so, for small repairs and maintenance. Of course this
creates a higher risk for you, but with the amount of money saved each month,
it could be worth the risk.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
5. Negotiate a discount for paying early. If you can pay
your rent a few days early, ask to get a 5% or 10% discount. You could even pay
bi-weekly payments, if they correspond with your paychecks. This can help your
budget, while lowering your expenses. The feeling of certainty for a landlord,
is key.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
6. <o:p></o:p></div>
Research the competition. Knowing the area and
competition is one of the best ways to negotiate a better price. Maybe the
complex down the road is offering a better price to their tenants, and you can
use this knowledge as leverage. You want to make sure they know, they aren’t
the only place on your list.<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh43osclEiAKeN-lhQ4SNqSYpExYl1CqMARYwJGFus1Q2FRNdRQJE4ayCMzYgP-I7JnJ8j9zBsExHcrCCgitosRTwMI2cnujU4B9bJjH-_joous5HS8Cf4hH7U8j7Tq2xwQesXxCn5gCnw/s1600/research-competition-magnifying-glass-ss-1920-800x450.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh43osclEiAKeN-lhQ4SNqSYpExYl1CqMARYwJGFus1Q2FRNdRQJE4ayCMzYgP-I7JnJ8j9zBsExHcrCCgitosRTwMI2cnujU4B9bJjH-_joous5HS8Cf4hH7U8j7Tq2xwQesXxCn5gCnw/s320/research-competition-magnifying-glass-ss-1920-800x450.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
7. Sign an extended lease. If you want to live in the same
area for several years, ask if you can sign an extended lease agreement, for
several years. In exchange negotiate for $50 – $100 off each month’s rent. A
landlord would much rather have the discounted but consistent income, than
leaving the place vacant.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
8. Become the building superintendent. Another way to reduce
the cost of rent, especially in a big city, is to volunteer as the superintendent.
This means you will have to available and on call for repairs, take out the
garbage and perform other tasks as needed around the building. It will take
some work on your part, but the savings pay off, could be well worth it.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
9. Pay 3-6 months in advance. Paying several months to a
year in advance is a great way to “flash some cash” and get a discounted rate.
Calculate the price your willing to pay each month then multiply by 3 – 6
months, then offer this lump sum as payment. It’s pretty difficult for anyone
not to take an good amount of money upfront.</div>

<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEildD9ocM3r4el7lzLfvDrqPEQlv3AD8zNZDHfr6kTreo9do-R1yzeUuMB6kPg4Q1-Bv5XukT5G_kJwFlE74J1JWUaLXf1v56cEeTJh7wXiWIjV67XwilxNxta1zVyuGQZb9r69JCuUiUY/s1600/images.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEildD9ocM3r4el7lzLfvDrqPEQlv3AD8zNZDHfr6kTreo9do-R1yzeUuMB6kPg4Q1-Bv5XukT5G_kJwFlE74J1JWUaLXf1v56cEeTJh7wXiWIjV67XwilxNxta1zVyuGQZb9r69JCuUiUY/s1600/images.jpg" /></a></div>
<o:p></o:p><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
10. Threaten (nicely) to move out. If you already have a
lease that’s up for renewal, give yourself plenty of time to negotiate. If
things don’t go your way, the landlord knows you will have time to cancel the
lease and move to another, cheaper location. Show them you are serious about
negotiating, but of course do it a nice manner.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In the end, just ask. If you’re proactively figuring out how
to negotiate your rent, you’re already on the right track. Even if you try a
few negotiating techniques that don’t seem to be working in your favor, the
best thing you can do is just ask. Show off your good financial history, do
your research, and be confident when negotiating. Maybe they won’t work with
you right now, but at least you did everything you could to increase your
chances. It never hurts to ask, and look for ways to stop paying rent all together by buying or building your own home!</div>

<br />
1. Become a sales Rep.<br />
about 4 years ago I was setting with a friend and I boasted that I could hack any bill at least by 1/2 if not goon all together. Well my friend tried to put me to the test and said "you can not lower my car payment." I was shocked, I had never thought of a car payment before as I do not drive and do not own a car. I did not want to be proven wrong, so I told him to give me all his details and to stay put because I would need him to tell people on the phone that I could speak for him. long story short by the time I was off phone a good 2 hours latter, I had his car bill cut in 1/2. All he to do was put a magnetic sign on the side of his car that advertised the car lot he got his car at. He was so impressed that I spent the next 3 hours on the phone with his insurance company lowering his car insurance from $65 a month to $150 every three months. Don't be afraid to just call and talk with companies you never know what deal you can work out, Think outside the box and you just my find yourself throwing the box away for good!<br />

<br />
2. Refinance your loan<br />
<br />
Refinancing simply means paying off your existing loan with a new one that carries a lower interest rate. Depending on the amount you owe, you could save thousands by going this route. Nearly all banks offer auto refinancing, and the whole process can be completed in a day or two. Refinancing is the most common (and effective) tool borrowers use to lower their payments.<br />
<br />
3. Lease next time<br />
<br />
Leasing gives you the use of a car for an extended period of time, usually two to five years. Lease payments are typically much lower than loan payments because you're not paying for the entire car during that time, but only for the "portion" that you use. Just be aware that you will have no equity or car at the end of the lease agreement. You simply walk away. Think of it like renting a car instead of buying.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
4. Change your current lease<br />
<br />
If you already have a lease, you can lower your payments by requesting a lower mileage allowance. Your payment amount is determined (in part) by the number of miles you are allowed to drive over the life of the lease. The lower the allowance, the lower your payment will be. However, you should be certain that you can stay within the new mileage limit. If you go over the specified amount, you'll have to pay a mileage penalty at the end of the lease. It does no good to lower your payment if it causes you to incur a major expense down the road.<br />
<br />
5. Extend your payments<br />
<br />
Whether you're about to buy or just looking to refinance, aim for the longest loan term possible. Loan terms up to 84 months are offered by most lenders. The longer the loan term, the lower your payments will be. In the end, you will pay more interest with a longer loan, but that may be less important to you than having a monthly payment you can afford.Carl Stanleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03970702993432910471noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365445527694238784.post-55377954640424942502017-04-07T06:45:00.002-07:002017-04-07T10:36:19.562-07:00Join The Freedom Team<div class="MsoNormal">

Her name Is Hope and that is what she as brought me, hope, not just for myself but for humankind.
Here is a video of some of the best moments that took place over the first year that she was in my life!
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="270" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/jDm9r6mornQ" width="480"></iframe><br />
<br />
Not to long after that video was taken we had a massive life change, We all moved for around two years off the grid. That was two years without TV, the internet, or even other children for her to play with. I could not have done a better thing in my opinion for my relationship with my child we became best friends. we worked together we prayed together we walked everyday and talked together. I watch my child go from a TV watcher to an author. Yes, at age 5 she wrote her first book "7 stories for 7 bedtimes". Throughout the past three years that Hope has been part of my life she has said some of the most enlightening and insightful things. That I just had to write them down and keep track of them.<br />
<br />
So here is 4 things she has said that should be passed on.<br />
<br />
<br />
<h2>
Quote One:</h2>
To set the scene for this one, we were walking barefoot in the desert up to what we called the holy land. A place on our land where we would go to sing, pray, and just have fun. She looked down at the footprints we where leaving in the sand, and said. "Look dad wherever we step we leave a footprint". Now this comment was innocent enough and a great observation, but what came next out of her mouth left me stunned. I wondered if she was channeling some ancient wisdom that was guiding me, not me guiding her any longer. She looked up at me and with kindness in her eyes asked. "Dad do you leave a big footprint"

Now I know she was just talking about the size of footprints we were leaving in the sand that day but I could not help but question my ecological footprint and what type of world I was leaving her..</div>

<h2>
Quote Two:</h2>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
One day while visiting a river to play, (see video below) we where standing with our feet in the water. As we watched the sand get pulled away from around our feet by the tide, she looked up at me and asked "If each time we step in the river it changes, Are we still in the same river?" </div>

Quote Three:</h2>

While picking raspberries in our yard one day. I said off offhandedly "boy these taste good!", she looked at me and said "It is not the taste that makes them good, It's the fact that we planted them that makes them good” </div>

<h2>
Quote Four:</h2>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This one comes from my wife. While the two of them where eating breakfast they where listing to native american music. Teri (Hope's mom) decided to take the moment and turned it in to a history lesson. She started to explain. the history of the native people, and how "white man" came and killed many of them and forced the rest to move in to camps. Hope interrupted her mom to say "and they are still singing?" Teri nodded and kept teaching, trying to finish her point. She told Hope about the blankets that the "white man" gave them that had sicknesses on them that caused many more to die. Hope again stopped her mom, this time saying the same thing but with more force and less question in her voice " and they are still singing." Teri said "Yes honey, they sing to pray, to tell stories, to remember how it was, and to celebrate". Hope thought about this for a while and then said " They're still singing, and they are going to keep singing"</div>

<h2 style="background-color: white; margin: 0px 0px 14px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "montserrat" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 21px;">5. Think about everyday objects you use that are wasteful, and refuse them. Paper wrapped plastic straws? Takeaway cups? Individual condiment, sugar, salt and pepper packages? Plastic bags? Plastic forks, knives, spoons, or chopsticks, usually individually wrapped? <i>f you use this stuff just stop!</i></span></span></h2>
<h2 style="background-color: white; margin: 0px 0px 14px; padding: 0px;">

<h2 style="background-color: white; margin: 0px 0px 14px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "montserrat" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 21px;">6. Refuse the crazy packaging of food. buying a product that has layers of packaging. Like that bag of frozen fish that inside the big bag each piece of fish is sealed in its own plastic. leave that big bag in the stores trash can. might feel strange the first few times but when we go shopping we spend around 5-10 min. at the stores trash can dropping of packaging that is just waste. </span></span></h2>
<h2 style="background-color: white; margin: 0px 0px 14px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "montserrat" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 21px;">7. You go to a shop to buy underwear. They wrap it up in tissue, put a sticker on it, and place it in a bag. That’s a lot of wrapping for something you could essentially put in your handbag. Just say no to superfluous packaging!</span></span></h2>

<span style="font-family: "montserrat" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 21px;">8. Tired of receiving gifts you’ll never use? Take a note from Vampire Diaries actor and refuse material gifts–ask friends and family to donate money to a charity you love instead of spending it on yet another unsuitable item that you’ll either return or rubbish.</span></span></h2>
<h2 style="background-color: white; margin: 0px 0px 14px; padding: 0px;">

<span style="font-family: "montserrat" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 21px;">13. Instead of buying a TV, iPod dock, radio, etc for each member of the family, revive the concept of the family room and keep one electronic item in a communal space. It will bring the family closer together for more shared entertainment experiences!</span></span></h2>
<h2 style="background-color: white; margin: 0px 0px 14px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "montserrat" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 21px;">14. Are any of your clothes totally unwearable, or even un-presentable for charity donations? Rip them up and clean the house with the rags. or make patchwork new items!</span></span></h2>
<h2 style="background-color: white; margin: 0px 0px 14px; padding: 0px;">

<h2 style="background-color: white; margin: 0px 0px 14px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "montserrat" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 21px;">15. Ditch anything disposable, such as plastic bottles, cotton pads, plastic bags and paper napkins. Instead, use washable, cloth or glass alternatives you can use time and again. This will ultimately also save you money.</span></span></h2>

<span style="font-family: "montserrat" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 21px;">16. Received a gift with beautiful packaging? Keep paper, envelopes and bows and wrap the next item you give someone with them. Also try to carefully open any delivery envelopes or boxes you get when you order stuff online and save them to use when you need to send something.</span></span></h2>
<h2 style="background-color: white; margin: 0px 0px 14px; padding: 0px;">

<h2 style="background-color: white; margin: 0px 0px 14px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "montserrat" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 21px;">17. Got some amazing clothes that you just never seem to wear? Stylish bags that just aren’t your style? Jewelry that’s been sitting in the in your drawer untouched, for ages? Why not throw a style swap party, inviting all your friends over to exchange all their best, but unused, clothing and accessories?</span></span></h2>

My choice was to ruin my son's life by giving him money or

<div class="MsoNormal">
Charity is very difficult to do right. Thinking through what
people need: You can't start a charity without that. It's like starting a
business without the product. Manoj Bhargava<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Working hard is way more fun. If you had to goof off 40
hours a week, you couldn't do it. It would drive you crazy. Manoj Bhargava<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I have not cared for money, and I enjoy working. Money comes
my way. People work hard so they get enough money. Or they work hard so they
don't have to work hard later in life. But though I don't need money, I still
work hard because I like what I am doing. Manoj Bhargava<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Philanthropy is natural. For a mother, taking care of her
children is natural. If I am rich, I take care of the poor, like a mother
would. Manoj Bhargava<o:p></o:p></div>

Recruiting is the hardest part of any business, but in
charity, it is 10 times harder. Manoj Bhargava<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
If you don't improve the lives of the poor, it's not
charity. Manoj Bhargava<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The biggest challenge is always the governments - they try
to stop all good things. I try to stay away from them as much as I can, as I
know if someone can destroy something good, it's the government. Manoj Bhargava<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
If you have more money than your lifestyle, then you can
either do something stupid or smart. That's not much of a choice. That's like
saying, 'You are on the roof. you can either take the elevator, or you can
jump.' That's not a choice. Manoj Bhargava<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Minimize Risk - Manoj Bhargava personally believes that the
true job of an entrepreneur is to minimise, manage and pass on the risk. Taking
risk is a part of business but minimising it to the lowest level is our duties.

<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
Enjoy your work- “Love what you do, do what you love”. The
most important rule to grow your startup is to enjoy your work. The only thing
one can do 8 hours a day is work and it's useless if u dont enjoy it. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Do something useful- Billions of money or success is not
achieved overnight you have to do something which is related and useful for you
and your organisation. Doing something useful will only help you to grow your
organisation, nothing else will. <o:p></o:p></div>

Do your maximum today- All you have is the present hour, if
you don't utilize your time properly then this wastage of time can destroy you.
Putting in your maximum efforts today can only lead to your growth, Success
eludes those who rest in the middle of a run as the market waits for none. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
Think with your head- Number of startups starts and ends up
overnight. You have to think with your head if you want to do something big
something different. Being practical is required if you want to stay and grow
in the market. Follow your dreams but make sure they are right dreams. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

Make slam dunk products- All business are same whether you
are selling energy products or consumer based products till the time it's not

rest everything is <o:p></o:p></div>

quality of your product is to use it by your own self, if you don't find it

<div class="MsoNormal">
Avoid aggravation- No aggravation in the startup whether its
customers, Vendors or employees. If you aggravate you got to go it's as simple.
If you don't aggravate its not only fun but it's a great place to work and no
one quits which serves as huge benefits.<o:p></o:p></div>

Think things through- It means to go to the customers and
find out what they need. If you ask your customers what they need they will

There are a few things that we as humans must have: 1. Food 2. Water 3. Shelter. We also, to live a happy life, we should have power, heat, and a way to express and improve ourselves AS LONG AS YOU ARE PAYING MONTHLY BILLS YOU ARE NOT FREE! If you have to get up and go to a job that you do not like, you are NOT FREE! So how do we become free? Well as you will see in the video below, there are basically two paths. One path takes time and hard work (The path I took because it cost less money) and path two that takes little time but takes lots of money. <br />
<br />
This is only the fist video on Freedom Technology. In part two we will cover more on water, food , and housing. How to live a zero waste life, In part three we will showcase how to improve our health and make a profit from home with passive income.<br />
<br />
Also, we will be making videos on how to make many of the products shown in the Freedom Technology video series, at home, the cheaper DIY way.<br />

<br /><br />
<div class="Standard">To date, there are over 1,500 studies proving coconut oil to<br />
be one of the healthiest foods on the planet. Coconut oil benefits and uses go<br />
beyond what most people realize.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="Standard"><br /></div><div class="Standard">Research has finally uncovered the secrets to this amazing<br />
fruit; namely healthy fats called medium-chain fatty acids (MCFAs), these<br />
unique fats include:<o:p></o:p></div><div class="Standard"><br /></div><div class="Standard">Caprylic acid<o:p></o:p></div><div class="Standard">Lauric acid<o:p></o:p></div><div class="Standard">Capric acid<o:p></o:p></div><div class="Standard">And around 62% of the oils in coconut are made up of these 3<br />
healthy fatty acids and 91% of the fat in coconut oil is healthy saturated fat.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="Standard"><br /></div><div class="Standard">Most of the fats that we consume take longer to digest, but<br />
MCFAs found in coconut oil provide the perfect source of energy because they<br />
only have to go through a 3 step process to be turned into fuel vs. other fats<br />
go through a 26 step process!<o:p></o:p></div><div class="Standard"><br /></div><div class="Standard">Unlike long-chain fatty acids (LCFAs) found in plant based<br />
oils, MCFAs are:<o:p></o:p></div><div class="Standard"><br /></div><div class="Standard">Easier to digest<o:p></o:p></div><div class="Standard">Not readily stored as fat<o:p></o:p></div><div class="Standard">Are anti-microbial and anti-fungal<o:p></o:p></div><div class="Standard">Smaller in size, allowing easier cell permeability for<br />
immediate energy<o:p></o:p></div><div class="Standard">Processed by the liver, which means that they are immediately<br />
converted to energy instead of being stored as fat<o:p></o:p></div><div class="Standard">20 Proven Coconut Oil Benefits<o:p></o:p></div><div class="Standard"><br /></div><div class="Standard">According to medical research, coconut oil benefits the body<br />
in the following ways:<o:p></o:p></div><div class="Standard"><br /></div><div class="Standard">1. Proven Alzheimer’s Disease Natural Treatment<o:p></o:p></div><div class="Standard">The digestion of MCFA’s by the liver creates ketones which<br />
are a readily accessible energy by the brain. Ketones supply energy to the<br />
brain without the need of insulin to process glucose into energy.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="Standard"><br /></div><div class="Standard">Recent research has shown that the brain actually creates<br />
it’s own insulin to process glucose and power brain cells. As the brain of an<br />
Alzheimer’s patient has lost the ability to create it’s own insulin, the<br />
ketones from coconut oil could create an alternate source of energy to help<br />
repair brain function. (1, 2)<o:p></o:p></div><div class="Standard"><br /></div><div class="Standard">2. Prevents Heart Disease and High Blood Pressure<o:p></o:p></div><div class="Standard">Coconut oil is high in natural saturated fats. Saturated fats<br />
not only increase the healthy cholesterol (known as HDL) in your body, but also<br />
help to convert the LDL “bad” cholesterol into good cholesterols.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="Standard"><br /></div><div class="Standard">By Increasing the HDL’s in the body, it helps promote heart<br />
health, and lower the risk of heart disease.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="Standard"><br /></div><div class="Standard">Human Kidneys, urinary system 3. Cures UTI and Kidney<br />
Infection & Protects the Liver<o:p></o:p></div><div class="Standard">Coconut oil has been known to clear up and heal urinary (UTI)<br />
and kidney infections. The MCFA’s in the oil work as a natural antibiotic by<br />
disrupting the lipid coating on bacteria and killing them. Also there is a<br />
study showing that coconut oil directly protected the liver from damage.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="Standard"><br /></div><div class="Standard">3. Coconut water also helps hydrate and support the healing<br />
process. Doctors have even injected the coconut water to clear up kidney<br />
stones. Coconut is a super powerful food!<o:p></o:p></div><div class="Standard"><br /></div><div class="Standard">4. Reduces Inflammation and Arthritis<o:p></o:p></div><div class="Standard"> In a study in India,<br />
the high levels of antioxidants present in virgin coconut oil reduced<br />
inflammation and healing arthritis more effectively than leading medications.<br />
(4)<o:p></o:p></div><div class="Standard"><br /></div><div class="Standard">In another recent study, coconut oil that was harvested with<br />
only medium heat was found to suppress inflammatory cells. It worked as both an<br />
analgesic and anti-inflammatory.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="Standard"><br /></div><div class="Standard"><br /></div><div class="Standard">5. Cancer Prevention and Treatment<o:p></o:p></div><div class="Standard">Coconut oil has two qualities that help it fight cancer. One,<br />
because of the ketones produced in it’s digestion. Tumor cells are not able to<br />
access the energy in ketones and are glucose dependent. It is believed that a<br />
ketogenic diet could be a possible component of helping cancer patients<br />
recover.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="Standard"><br /></div><div class="Standard">Two, as the MCFA’s digest the lipid walls of bacteria, they<br />
also can kill the helicobacter pylori bacteria that has been known as<br />
increasing the risk of stomach cancer. Even in studies where cancer is<br />
chemically induced, the introduction of coconut oil prevents cancer from<br />
developing!<o:p></o:p></div><div class="Standard"><br /></div><div class="Standard">6. Immune System Boost (antibacterial, anti-fungal, and anti-viral)<o:p></o:p></div><div class="Standard">Coconut oil contains lauric acid, which is known to reduce<br />
candida, fight bacteria, and create a hostile environment for viruses. Many<br />
diseases today are causes by the overgrowth of bad bacteria, funguses, viruses<br />
and parasites in the body.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="Standard"><br /></div><div class="Standard">You can replace grains and sugar in your diet with coconut<br />
oil as your natural fuel source when you’re sick. Sugar feeds the growth of bad<br />
bacteria. Instead take 1 TBSP of coconut oil 3x daily when sick and consume<br />
plenty of vegetables and bone broth as well.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="Standard"><br /></div><div class="Standard">7. Improves Memory and Brain Function<o:p></o:p></div><div class="Standard">In a 2004 study published in the journal of Neurobiology of<br />
Aging, they found that the MCFA’s found in coconut oil improved the memory<br />
problems in their older subjects.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="Standard"><br /></div><div class="Standard">Across all the patients there was a marked improvement in<br />
their recall ability after taking this fatty acid. As the MCFA’s are absorbed<br />
easily in the body and can be accessed in the brain without the use of insulin,<br />
they are able to fuel brain cells more efficiently. (5)<o:p></o:p></div><div class="Standard"><br /></div><div class="Standard">8. Improves Energy and Endurance<o:p></o:p></div><div class="Standard">Coconut oil is easy to digest, but also produces a longer<br />
sustained energy and increases your metabolism. When taking a quality<br />
non-processed coconut oil, you can get the most benefit as it’s MCFA’s are sent<br />
directly to the liver to be converted into energy!<o:p></o:p></div><div class="Standard"><br /></div><div class="Standard">Today, many triathletes will use coconut oil as their source<br />
of fuels during training and races for long distance events. You can make a<br />
homemade energy fuel by mixing coconut oil, raw honey and chia seeds together.<br />
Simply put together 1 TBSP of each and consume 30 minutes prior to exercise.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="Standard"><br /></div><div class="Standard"><br /></div><div class="Standard">9. Improves Digestion, Reduces Stomach Ulcers &<br />
Ulcerative Colitis<o:p></o:p></div><div class="Standard">Coconut also improves digestion as it helps the body to<br />
absorb fat-soluble vitamins, calcium, and magnesium.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="Standard"><br /></div><div class="Standard">If coconut oil is taken at the same time as omega-3 fatty<br />
acids, it can make them twice as effective, as they are readily available to be<br />
digested and used by the body.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="Standard"><br /></div><div class="Standard">Coconut oil can help improve bacteria and gut health by<br />
destroying bad bacteria and candida. Candida imbalance especially can decrease<br />
stomach acid which causes inflammation and poor digestion.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="Standard"><br /></div><div class="Standard">10. Reduces Symptoms of Gallbladder Disease &<br />
Pancreatitis<o:p></o:p></div><div class="Standard">The MCFA’s of coconut oil do not need the pancreatic enzymes<br />
to be broken down, so taking coconut oil eases the strain on the pancreas.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="Standard"><br /></div><br /><br />
<div class="Standard">Additionally, this super fat is so easy to digest that it has<br />
been known to improve the symptoms of gallbladder disease as well. Replace<br />
other long-chain fats with coconut oil to improve gallbladder and total body<br />
health.<o:p></o:p></div>Carl Stanleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03970702993432910471noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365445527694238784.post-79781216889786157492017-03-13T07:08:00.001-07:002017-03-13T07:08:08.758-07:00Lower power bill for free tip 13<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="344" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/GLle4s9lgH0" width="459"></iframe>Carl Stanleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03970702993432910471noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365445527694238784.post-37327394337172022112017-03-12T07:01:00.001-07:002017-03-12T07:01:59.046-07:00Save money by using teamworkTip 12<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="344" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/LTCJUdmo5HY" width="459"></iframe>Carl Stanleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03970702993432910471noreply@blogger.com0
