      I’m working towards just this, not a tent necessarily but a very small house/shack, gonna get some dogs and chickens and probably work at a local grocery or do art until I die.

      I am not making much progress. I wonder who tf is buying houses.

      You could afford to work part time remotely

      If you’re a professional that even has that option. Factory workers and blue collar schmucks like myself are chained to a radius around available work :(

          The point is to work less not avoid work completely. I’m unable to work 100% remotely for the time being, rural internet is still a joke most places.

          I’m just saying it’s not so simple and still requires an incredible amount of work, saving, and sacrifice to “just retire to an acre and get some chickens.”
