Is it Self-Sufficiency, Self-Reliance, or Living a Simple Life?

"In Shakespeare’s romantic tragedy, Romeo and Juliet, the famous balcony scene has Juliet giving a soliloquy based on the premise that Capulet and Montague are only names and shouldn’t be a defining factor of a person. She puts it this way: ‘A rose by any other name would still smell as sweet.”

This same thing applies when you are talking about self-sufficiency, self-reliance, and living a Simple Life. They may have different names, but they are all still roses. The only difference between the three may only come down to the degree in which you apply it."

In this Episode, learn more about what it really means to be Self-sufficiency, Self-Reliance, or living a Simple Life, and finally get an answer to whether you can actually live this type of lifestyle!
