Self-sufficiency is easy. Take this quick quiz: How often do you visit WalMart/SAMS ?
- Once per day - not self-sufficient at all - you need help.
- Once per week - not exactly self-sufficient.
- Once per month - better, or maybe you just have a larger freezer.
- Once per year - now you're getting there.
- Once - definitely self-sufficient.
