    We purchase laptop computers and many components for greater than scrap value. We offer a shipping reimbursement program.replies

    I agree that it can be done. I think it can be done in stages. For example, if you drive a 4x4 truck, you can skip the driveway for a while.

    We have a lot of "two-tracks" out here on the farm. A truck can go down them just fine. When you run into some money, then you can go for gravel or asphalt. Buying yourself 4-6 months of time can make a huge difference!



    If you can do some of the work yourself, it can save a ton of money. We have a farm tractor and implements, so we can do a lot of maintenance projects ourselves. Renting a tractor and blade, and hauling your own gravel may end up being cheaper than having someone lay the gravel down.

    There are tons of ways to do things on a tight budget. Who knows- maybe you can use some scrap to save money. My couches, dinner table, and my desk all came through scrap.

    Stay focused and you'll get there. Having some motivation never hurt anyone, anyways!
