    I knew since college 20 years ago that I would never afford a house. Where I was houses was $300,000 (20 years later and they are $1,000,000). So during this time I found a way out of that greedy broken system.

    Few months ago we bought land. The land was less than just paying for 1 years rent where we were from. So now my “rent” is the yearly property tax $150 per year. Very affordable.

    We were living in a small car for a while. Twin bed, battery with solar, and a small 12v fridge. It worked good for us. Plenty of people live in cars (lookup cheapRVliving on YouTube)

    Currently live in an RV we paid $3,000 for. Just had a 2,500 gallon water tank delivered, used a 20% off coupon to get that. Always looking for deals.

    In the next few years we are going to build our house using dirt and rocks (hyperadobe) that we have on our land. It’s a lot of labor but it’s super cheap.
