The way I do it, is I bought enough land to provide food for 20 people. Each of my children will learn to work the land and learn the tools and skills required to produce food.
For real, you have that many kids it's cuz you've got a farm and you can already feed them/employ them.
Correct. When you have a mortgage, 2 cars, and a bunch of debt you can't do anything. That's why I went the unconventional route. My comment was more of advice and proof to anyone who doesn't want the "average" outcome for their life. I did not want the average outcome for myself and my family.
To anyone else reading that is interested, the way I did it was learning a high paying trade that didn't require college and student loans ($100k saved) then once in said job, rent the smallest cheapest place you can, or live with your parents. Then save save save. Don't go to restaurants, bars, vacations. Save every penny. Then buy a raw piece of land with majority cash. You can take out a small loan, but make it so you can pay it off in 5 years or less. Now that you've got your land, your cash is all gone, so you have to save again to build a tiny house.
While saving, walk your land and find a good spot for your cabin. Choose an area on high ground so it doesn't flood. Then get a good chainsaw and start cutting down trees for a road and homesite. Plan your house with consideration to additions you plan to do to it. I started with a 200 sqft cabin with the intention of expanding it to 400 sqft when I get married, then 800 sqft when my first child or two come, the 1600 sqft once we get rolling
Also, don't have sex and children outside of marriage as this will be a huge financial burden. And choose a partner who wants the same lifestyle. Start learning about solar, electricity , building construction, tree felling, root cellars, smoke houses, pole barns, saw mills, animal husbandry, etc etc etc now.
If you want this, you can do this. It's alot of work and sacrifice. I'm now 35 and now finally married with my own house. Had I gone the conventional way, I could have been married with my own house 10 years ago, but I wouldn't have the security I have now. Recession? Lost my job? Land and house paid off. Food shortages? I raise and grow my own. Lumber through the roof? I have acres and acres and acres of trees. Water shortage? I have a well and year round creek. Youre retired, stock market crashed and your 401k is worthless and your too old to farm? I've raised 10 children and grandchildren how to farm and the meaning of hard work, God and family
