Wondering if leaving the nest is all that bad an idea.

1. If you keep your family around you, like on the same property and with youngsters never leaving, you would be imitating what they did originally.

2. You would have resources and assets at hand, so everybody doesn't buy a car, etc..

3. Division of labor would allow both women, men, and children have a hand in survival, more like a repeated seasonal plan.

4. A chief head of family could be in charge of management, like they used to have patriarchs.

5. Could have your own farm-like investment in raising animals, gardens, produce for sale, etc..

6. You would be learning traditional ways of using your land and communicating with neighbors.

7. No question but that more in the family is better for your defense and opportunities.

8. Have your own church, graveyard, bank, stores, school, etc..

9. Might be the Amish have a plan.
