In the past decade, homesteading has become a popular hobby among younger generations. It is no longer the way of our grandparents, but the way of the future. Homesteading has increasingly appealed to millennials and younger generations who seek to escape from our highly technological world and wish to return to a simpler lifestyle. Many young Americans face insurmountable debt and financial struggles distinct from previous generations. They are concerned about the climatological impact of urban and wasteful lifestyles and want to create a sense of balance in their lives. Homesteading provides an outlet for these individuals who are seeking a more sustainable way of living that allows them to take back control of their lives, all while living in a financially modest manner.
