Hey there, and welcome aboard the crazy Steemit train! My family and I are on a quite similar venture, with a hope to get off grid on the 12 acres we just moved to this summer. We got rid of so much in order to come here--I think having "next to nothing" is not neccessarily a bad place to be.

Looking forward to seeing how the adventure goes. Keep your chins up, and never be afraid to ask for help!
