    Teaching yourself … buying a plot of land, renting the equipment … install a septic tank, … a tiny home, is less complicated and expensive than it sounds

    Cool, got those numbers? Plus I want time investment required as well. You talk big, son.

    It really all depends on what a person truly wants out of their life.

    “Lower your standards”, got it.

      With respect, I’m not going to argue with someone who doesn’t want that life, but the numbers are leagues higher to live depending on purchasing everything, especially superficial purchases, and most people can’t even afford a home within that system anymore, so they are forced to find other means of survival at this point.

      You do you, so long as you’re happy!

      I must add that focusing your energy towards working for yourself is infinitely rewarding. All that time spent is time I enjoy.

        You aren’t going to argue because 50k isn’t remotely close to achieving what you are talking about and you know it.

          5-10 acres for 10k, tiny home budget 20k, about 5 grand to rent clearing equipment. But hey, I’m sure you’ve done extensive research and know 50k is more than comfortable already.

          You can do this flat broke and pop a tent wherever you want on crown land for free. Some people are just trying to survive while others can afford extra comforts.
