RE: Living in Old Singlewide Mobile Home... By Choice
You guys are awesome! I have had the same plan. I can pickup a piece of country land for 5,000 and place a used moble home on it. It will save me over a thousand dollars a month. I am on the same path.
Go for it! We've been out here a year and a half and wouldn't trade it back. Our home (we call it a home or house, not trailer) was bought off of CraigsList at a heck of a deal. I'm working on write-ups and videos on the whole process now.
Sorry about that but I understand. You have made it a great home. I really believe this is my road to freedom and out of the IT business. I hate being inside all day. I just want a simple life. You guys have a great thing going on. i wish you all the luck.
Are you my clone? :) I'm also in the IT field and consider this my "5 year plan" towards getting out from behind this desk!
LOL, that is great! If your anything like me then you didn't figure out until you were neck deep that you would never be an expert at your chosen career and that your skills would be useless unless you cram 10 1,500 page books into your memory every year. I am just tired of it and want to have a homestead. I don't mind working hard, i just prefer it to be outside. I would love to get a electrician card and put my time into that. At least I would be a master at some time. Anyway great talking to you. I am going to keep up with you guys and what is going on. i hope to get to the place your at in the next two years ( actually i am shoot for the end of the year but we will see how it goes).
You're so right! I've been lucky enough to have found a nice SMB company and have been here about 6 years. I really like the company and coworkers, but the 2 hour commute on top of the 9 hour workday is getting old. I wonder if working in the digital realm of IT makes some of us further inclined to desire to work in the outdoors on a tangible project? :) Good luck on your endeavor!
Part 1 and Part 2 are now posted, in case you missed them. Thanks! :)
