<![CDATA[Primal is Sustainable for YOU long term, but not your family]]>Just wanted opinions on this because I feel great on primal, but i cant help think for anyone between the ages of 14-30 this is easy to do because we do not have a family yet. No REAL responsibility's. Let's say by some miracle you convince your future partner to go primal, you then would have to have a substantial amount of money for you & your multiple children

Example: I'm already spending roughly £18 ($24) a day for myself. Granted, this is mostly great cuts of meat, oysters, raw milk. I cant help but think this would quadruple at least for a family of just 4 (which is a small family) so £72 a day or (96$).

Yes, maybe the prices are somewhat exaggerated. But you get my point all the same. Sometimes i sigh and feel as though it's a cope as I cant think of one example of someone with a large or semi large family eating primal.

I Guess we could actually match the price of foods with a great career & become a slave.. never having time to see your children.. man call me a doomer, but i feel like this is something valid i'm bringing up that i have yet to see or the forum.

Thoughts?

But yes ofc I think you are responsible human so good thing for you as you are thinking about your future and trying to live in the moment!

Money is not the root of all evil your needs are. I don’t want to be hippie dippie about it but money is just energy and we agreed upon its value, even tho money doesn’t exist. Like I’ve said you can make money by doing the things you enjoy and there is no limit to it. I am not talking about working a slave Corporate job at McKenzie.
The idea that trying to earn more money is meaningless/slavery sounds nihilistic to me because it suggests that nothing you do to improve your life actually matters. idk.. bro you can have your viewpoint, sounds like goatis tho haha but you can convince me otherwise I am open minded

But it’s wise to plan for the future. I think thinking I might die any moment isn’t a good way to live in the moment.

I ain’t living my life thinking I’m dying soon. Your missing the bigger picture.

Buying land is an investment that saves money in the long run. I think because society has moved away from this way or living it seems so hard but it’s not.

I would recommend sheep over cows to anyone because their milk has more cream and they have less meat, and shorter gestation, so more fresh meat, less to freeze.

Brother ofc you need money , the same way you need money to afford this diet.
I can’t tell you how to make money because there are a bunch of models. I know someone who got rich of breeding frogs and playing Guitar. Everyone has a different path.
But in the UK you definitely have the opportunity to save up 70-100grand to move abroad and get some land. Ofc it won’t work without educating yourself living independently. I didn’t mean to say that buying land is easy, it’s obviously not.(but possible) What I was trying to say is that people often underestimate how manageable it can be to live off a small number of animals. Chickens, a couple of cows, and some fish can already produce a surprisingly high amount of food. There are even efficient systems, like traditional Chinese pond farming, where fish, animals, and crops are combined to maximize output.
Iam from Germany right now I work in Sales and I am able to save money from it. I don’t know your situation but don’t limit yourself by thinking about money when it comes to your family life and future

Alot of people are very optimistic in this forum which is commendable for sure. Again why 30? it's a man made number. Maybe for women, sure ideally 5 before 30 but as a man i can hold out at 29 a little longer. its not optimal or ideal but its our current circumstances.

It’s easy once you’ve got some land. Dont let anyone tell you otherwise,we forgot how valuable just one cow can be

And I think everyone’s goal should live off of the land while starting a family. A small holding which provides food, hunting, fishing. That is more affordable long term.
