0:00.0	Hey, pioneers, welcome to episode number 460. Today we are talking about mastering money on the homestead,
0:15.1	budgeting and debt-free living with popcorn finance. This is a topic that I think is really important for us to have,
0:24.8	especially as homesteaders, because there are sometimes purchases that homesteaders need to make
0:33.7	that are quite unique in comparison to a lot of financial advice and debt-free
0:40.2	living that you would hear for a non-homesteader.
0:44.1	So we're going to dive into practical advice that is applicable to anyone, but then we're
0:50.1	going to get into some of the nuances that are very specific to homesteaders and finances.
