We have been bartering for 10 years. We don't feel the pinch but a lot of people here are feeling it bad. It is still getting worse, lay offs still coming. But most are too dumb to know it until it is too late. Still see a steady stream of cars going into Walmart. I have a good job and my office is 2 miles from home. We are saving for retirement in 5 years, I will be 58. It costs my wife and I $30.00 a month for power, cell phone plan is paid by my work (I am on call 24/7) we only pay for our personal long distance calls ($2-$3 a month) Have wood heat (couple cord from tree butchers and some lumber ends from my brother in laws construction buisness). $38.00 a month for house and auto insurance, $100.00 a month on basic staples. We live out of our garden, we can, freeze and dry, hunt and fish for meat supply. (deer, elk, turkey, trout and salmon) and barter for the rest. We raise rabbits and have 6 chickens. Our water is gravity fed from a spring. I drive a city vehicle for work and we have a 2008 HHR panel, that gets 32 miles to the gallon, we drive about 100 miles a month and go on 3- 1 week, 200-400 mile vacation trips. We own everything we have, We moved into our small comfortable well built 3 room cabin (20'x24') in the woods. My wife hasn't worked for 5 years and our 2 kids are on their own. We live in paradise, mild weather, plenty of fruit, berries, mushrooms and wild game. Life is GOOD when you have everything you NEED....James

Today's Featured Article - A Belt Pulley? Really Doing Something? - by Chris Pratt. Belt Pulleys! Most of us conjure up a picture of a massive thresher with a wide belt lazily arching to a tractor 35 feet away throwing a cloud of dust, straw and grain, and while nostalgic, not too practical a method of using our tractors. While this may have been the bread and butter of the belt work in the past (since this is what made the money on many farms), the smaller tasks may have been and still can be its real claim to fame.
