Off Grid vs. On Grid: Should We Be Going Off Grid?

Sorry this has taken a couple days to respond but I REALLY appreciate you taking the time to give such a detailed response! I am going to reread it again and will definitely take all you said into consideration. As of right now we are definitely leaning toward spending more money on non electric items and just decreasing dependency as much as possible. Thanks again!

My pleasure and I hope it helps! I think there's a romance that comes with "off-grid" that is more related to detaching from society and, I think, getting spiritual in some way. That idea of off-grid is different from trying to do it while still largely participating in modern society. I think if you are doing the latter - farming, going to town, participating in your community - that it makes sense to be honest with yourself and go for a practical approach.

Good luck!
