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.

The US jerks itself off with bootstraps and stories of self made millionaires.

You mean trust-fund babies who started off with a "small" loan? Stories are just that. I don't know why you think that adds any weight to your point or how it affects mine...

Do your thing, dude. Whatever makes you happy.

Every time I hear someone advocating against self-sufficiency and dependency on a fascist system, the alarm bells go off.

It seems alien to most because we are indoctrinated to fear individualism and anything that deviates from the status quo, and take "comfort" in the deeply corrupt system we are all forced to participate in.

Like I said in another comment, at this point people are forced to do this purely out of survival, because living within the system is just not possible anymore. It's much easier to understand and empathize if you've experienced poverty and discrimination.

All you have to do is have enough cash to not work while you learn to do all that labor including building codes designed to keep you from killing yourself.

That's why I also suggested purchasing pre-fab. Hell, you could buy a trailer or even a shipping container, or whatever is within your means.

Change is hard for the average person, and most will resist it.

Though Tyson most likely has quadruple the testosterone of a healthy 27 year old man coursing through his system, on top of whatever other performance enhancers lol

He did make the bookies quite happy.

A 58 year old silverback gorilla with a team of doctors pumping him full of roids and other performance enhancers. He had the chance to show the world he's still a beast, but he took the the paycheck to promote JP instead.

JP never faced a proper opponent in a proper fight.

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.
