I was shocked when I read this chapter because I never though Brende would sell his car and buy a horse and buggy. I don’t think he would have sold it if the car insurance hadn’t been so expensive. I wonder what would have happened if he had been in an accident and damaged someone’s car and if someone had been injured. He wasn’t carrying any insurance and they wouldn’t have had the money to pay for the damages.
It was interesting to learn that they enjoyed traveling by horse and buggy and actually were able to take shortcuts to many of his neighbor’s house. He was able to form new relationships and some of them provided him with the opportunity to make money.
Brende also found a really good buy on a piece of property that included a house, barn, chicken coop, shelter and a workshop. He felt that even if they didn’t stay there it would be a good investment for the future. I would have liked to know how much he paid for this property but he did not disclose this.
It was strange to me how they chose their leader by drawing straws. Maybe it wouldn’t be such a bad idea to do in our government because it is hard to know who the most honest and best candidate is. I wonder if it really matters in the long run. Most candidates promise you many things to get elected and then never follow through.
