i just want a small property with a yard and a couple trees and room to grow some plants and tinker on projects
if only i didn't spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on avocado toast in my 20s
Take a look at moneybags over here being able to afford avocado toast!
Not since their 20s
I just don't want to be homeless when I am old. That's all I want. Having food and housing. A two room apartment for me and my husband would be nice. If I can use the public transport on top of that, I'm all set. A three room apartment would be a luxury and being able to go out every once in a while would be absolutely astronomical.
(I also want to have healthcare but I am in Germany so I got that going for me which is nice. )
Modest home. Stone fruit trees. Nice big pole barn for projects.
My wife and I have been searching for community and reasonable housing costs. My data analyst self began mad research of all sorts for about a year. Then, we moved into a vehicle and explored for eight months.
Boots on the ground, we learned that everything is much, much better if you're at least 40 minutes from the closest Walmart. This is harder than it seems. It'll likely be an hour+ commute to a workplace with decent pay. But, it's been consistently true wherever we've traveled (US): No Walmart nearby means a solid community and cheap land.
We found a place we like. My wife accepted a job offer today. We bought a 14' enclosed utility trailer and will build a temporary home in the two weeks before we leave, avoiding rent and mortgage until we find the perfect piece of land.
My plan was to steal one from a real estate company but i can try your thing
