If you move out to the country you can retire in a very comfortable air conditioned tent on a fully self-sufficient one-acre farm for like $8k, and that includes the cost of the land.
You could afford to work part time remotely and still live a life of luxury compared to our ancestors.
Why are you working for hours every day just to give all that money to some landlord? Move off-grid and enjoy your life. If more people did that, the supply of work would decrease and unions could negotiate for higher pay for less hours.
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 :(
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.

Nice, good luck! My uncle lives in a tiny home out in the boonies, and seems to enjoy it. He grows beans and sells fridge magnets on Etsy.
You could buy a place like this in full, with some solar panels, a bed, and mini-fridge after two years and some change working minimum wage. It’s not glamorous at all but it’s a chill af way to live life away from all the stress.
I wonder who tf is buying houses.
I know it’s a rhetorical question, but 50% of millennials own a home in the US, mostly in small rural areas and suburbs.
Both capitalists and tankies want you to believe that you have to work until you die, but it’s just not true. Don’t give in to the doomers!
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.”

The point is to avoid work. Just live off the land and enjoy your life. You can sell fridge magnets on Etsy like my uncle.

Find me land for $8k within reasonable distance of an area with tech jobs please.
You can work remotely, and also I thought the point was to avoid work?
