“The righteous man considers the life of his beast.”
Building a small service business with very little outside investment, help, loans, etc. is nearly impossible in an increasingly inflationary environment.
Prices of materials and equipment rise at rates beyond the rates clients are willing to pay so keeping clients who have historically paid for your services at 10% less than you need to charge them is causing owners to further to make the tough decisions of working on thinner and thinner margins.

When this backslidden society hits the end of its spiral into debauchery, debt, and death, there will be men who have been taught refining lessons through suffering that they are responsible to pass on to their sons and their sons’ sons. Family units will strengthen, businesses will be centers of quality production rather than cheap debt and cheaper products, communities will protect embrace time-honored tradition and cast out fads. It will be painfully slow, but very good.

Walking into home improvement stores causes my chronic aesthetic revulsion to flare up.
Can you transition to an outdoor job without going into unreasonable amounts of debt?
I’ve been running my own outdoor business for 3 seasons and the sun has done wonders for my clarity of thought at the writer’s desk.
Debt sucks. The debtor is slave to the lender, which makes us all slaves in a monetary system built on debt.
