You mentioned "growing your own food". How much work is invested in that activity? If you put a price on it, would it be just as cheap to work at a job and use that income to buy the food? For example frozen vegetables are about $1 to $2 per package. Eggs are about $1 / dozen. Bread is $2 a loaf. So purchasing what you could reasonably grow yourself would be at most $10 per day. So working 6 weeks at $15 per hour would buy you whatever you grow on the farm. (Yes, I realize that most people spend a bit more than $10 a day on groceries, my budget is $800 a month for 2 adults and a kid, I'm just referring to the items that you would normally grow yourself such as vegges and eggs).
