In a perfect world, I would be independently employed from home (a writer, or something similar), living on a small acreage just outside a small city. Not too far away that I can’t go in for supplies or things on a regular basis, but not too close that I’m bothered by the city lights on the horizon. Maybe 10 kilometres or so outside of a medium sized city.
On that acreage, I’d strive to be as self-sufficient as possible. Have a garden, for example. Solar Panels, Geothermal, etc… I’d develop relationships with my local neighbours. purchase a half a side of beef from a rancher to my left. Some eggs and fryers from a farmer to my right. Spend my evenings in my woodworking shop making furniture and other things that strike my fancy.
