As a married father of four, we cleared $4400 during these trying times. I'm buying the property next door, surveying it, and incorporating it into my homestead.
To all those who say life is impossible and they can only rent, don't let me catch you buying an RTX 2080 Ti with your strap.
There is a happy middle ground between wage cuck and NEET and that is where I reside. I fucked around in my 20's and didn't go to college. I mainly worked 35mm film projection and call center technical support jobs.
Due to cirmcumstances with my children, I don't work now. I am going back to school in August, which is free. I bought my first house at age 32 for a grand total of $11,000 from a title company who owned the tax deed. I repaired the water and vandalism damage, installed a tin roof for $1300.
I'll be 40 in two years. My house will be complete around that same time. When done, it will be 2300 sq ft and resting on 1 acre. It's been paid off the whole time (Thanks EIT!).
Our social system in the U.S. benefits family men. Paying with cash keeps you from being subservient to the bankers. Take the bootstrap pill. Trump checks are a good way to get started.
Scrap and pick and wrench and you can live a comfortable life. A life, I might add, is more closely aligned to the ones lived by your ancestors.
Get a homestead, get a trad-wife. Say "Fuck you" to this disposable, leased, HOA restricted, rent controlled, planned obsolescence that is modern life.
Well done. I hope you inspire some more people to figure out a way to make it happen.

wow you get to live in that shithole and all it takes is constant hard work? where do i sign up?

So again, a comfy home resting on an acre of land costed me about $30,000 total. I drive a 20 year old Dodge Ram that allowed me to do renovations. I've sunk maybe $8,000 into my transportation over the course of 11 years, which includes purchase price as well.
>1. You live in the god damn middle of nowhere, I'm guessing the south, probably 'bama or MS.
>2. Don't just rip those trees down without thinking first. They don't grow back in a heartbeat.
Florida. Surrounded by large cities which are easy commutes. The live oaks and laurel oaks can stay.
Blake Watson
How do you buy a house directly from a title company? I’m in the same situation.
Levi Campbell
Nobody told me it was easy. Nobody said it would be this hard. If you had the money all at once, it wouldn't take nearly as long. Life gets in the way. I also have a GTX 1060, i7, 2TB NVME storage and guns so I spread around my resources.

We don't all live in Flyoverland in Bumfuck, Florida.

>Thank you. Be kind to your land, learn to live like your ancestors like you yearn to do.
Definitely. I'll probably end up building a raised garden, potato growing boxes and put a chicken coop on my new land. The Laurel oaks can be a little iffy around here. During hurricane Irma, they would just fall over because of all the rainfall.
Check to see if your county has an occasional tax sale. It usually happens at the courthouse. You can buy derelict properties nobody wants for the backtaxes owed.
Wyatt Garcia
But you should. If the pandemic hasn't taught you that much I don't know if you can be helped.
t. haven't changed my lifestyle a bit since the virus
Alexander Lopez
Vanity project? Who brags about living in a $30,000 house? It's a bootstrap post because of pic-related. Someone needs to refute antifa communist NEET threads. I wish more people did. I want to see Yas Forums at work and the fruits of anons labor. Anyone else have a humble success story? Please share.
I haven't changed my lifestyle either since I'm not a moronic NPC with no hobbies who only feels fulfilled if he's making Shekelstein money or doing drugs.
Jeremiah Jenkins
It may be prudent to find more appropriate trees and get them started sooner rather than later, but fallen trees are actually an incredible boon (as long as they don't fall on your house). A single fallen tree will provide enough mulch for your garden for years, provided you can work on speeding up its decay.
Mason Nelson
Don't worry too much user. I have an up to date gaming PC, drive a nice car (for a wagie) and already own my first property that I'm currently living in, and I'm not even 30.
Anyone can do it, but it won't just happen. You have to fucking work for it, set a plan, and make it happen.
The real cucks, are the ones who cuck themselves .
Benjamin James
>takes life advice and shits on it I took the same route as OP and I'm not trying to be smug but I am very grateful for what I've got. Very comfy.
>How do you buy a house directly from a title company? I’m in the same situation. Don't bother, just look for foreclosure auctions. In many states the Sheriff runs those auctions, just check their website for your county. Be advised, most are absolute shit-holes that have been neglected for years. You'd better be comfortable doing renovations from the studs up. In most of the foreclosures I've seen, you'd be better off tearing the structure down and starting from scratch.
Jordan Brown
Good for you. I look at those more successful with inspiration, as long as it wasn't all mommy and daddys money. I can't stand poor-mouthing anons who beg for shit and say "god bless"
Dude I love hobbies. My boomer neighbor comes over to annoy me a lot, that's his hobby.
Nolan Jones
>Who brags about living in a $30,000 house? You, right now. >takes life advice and shits on it Well, yeah - most of the advice on /pol is absolute shit.
Easton Green
I've got some bamboo I propagated in the other corner of the property, A healthy cherry tree out front. citrus to the side. And if you have a riding mower, I picked up a bagger a few years back for about $70 on facebook marketplace. Bagger + mulching blades best invention since sliced bread.

I'm not, I'm going to try to get into trading stocks and options with the $1200 I got.
Luke Barnes
I am bragging but I was just lucky
I am in the norf and started working at 16 I didn't go to college either but you finish school at 16 in the uk
saved 5 years since a loner so no holidays or going clubbing
houses prices were low because norf but then shot up when towns started developing
Its semi country and a nexus between 2 cities
Grayson Lewis
Bamboo can be extremely invasive, be careful with that, but the stakes you can harvest from it are very useful. I saw your citrus tree in the OP image, should be ~ 5-10 years old right? Plant a few more of different varieties (lemons are incredibly useful). Yes, add as much mulch and organic matter as you possibly can to your gardens and you won't even have to till.

I hear you. Our country is rotting because we've had it too easy for generations.
Everywhere takes constant hard work, the trade off is you're paying out the ass for someone else to do it for you.
Anthony Hill
I was going to be buying land anyway. My Trumpbux will be going toward live stock.
Nolan Howard
>Intcel cpu en nuvidea gpu Also good luck buying that much land in a real land.
Isaac Allen
You think my place is bad, you should get a load of the boomers living in single-wide trailers, sticking their thumb out in the hopes of bumming a ride to the gas station to get more beer.
You ever see someone walking across a bridge and think to yourself, "Where did they fuck up they don't have a car to get them where they are going?". I will never be that loser.
Christian Taylor
Don't live in the city. Easy. Who TF would want to live in rat-filled pandemic strewn concrete jungles anyway? I'd rather live somewhere that is majority white. In burger town, that's rural zip codes.
Jonathan Allen
I bought a workstation PC but might buy land or stonks with the unemployment (furloughed). Holding myself to actually working with the PC. Currently brushing up on programming and adobe. If you are disciplined a good PC is a fortune finder.
Isaiah Mitchell
“Hard times create strong men. Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men. And, weak men create hard times.”
Good shit OP. I am genuinely happy for you. My situation is very different, but overall I believe we might agree that "pulling yourself from your bootstraps" is not as shitty as an advice as most millenials here would make you believe. I see at lot of defeatism, but at the end of the day, it is purely up to you to better your living conditions. I did my fair share. Went to work in a shithole African country for 8 years and managed to buy 2 houses in the capital of my home country, both of which are fully rented to students or young workers on a per-room basis. No longer need to work a 9-5, all at the age of 31.
Jace Anderson
metal buildings are dirt cheap and last forever. They come in kits you just bolt together. once you factor in slab pouring, plumbing, electrical, doors and windows, you're still well under $50k even with hired help. Thats a brand new structure that will be around for your grandkids.
Evan Morales
Good for you. The one thing you worked so hard on is a small piece of grass with a document signed by our (((government))) saying that you "own" it. All for the sake of puffing your chest on a troll board. Property ownership is a false concept given to us by the state that only serves to give men false pride. You're still a subject of our (((government))), and what they giveth they can taketh as well.
David Williams
Congratulations. I see the same thing. I see a lot of defeatist, jealous attitudes on here. That's what I expect from Chapo's. Men shouldn't be defeatist and jealous. That's a whiny bitch attitude.
Nolan Taylor
you seem really cool, lets hang out.
Robert Jones
While I am somewhat impressed by your determination user, I can't help but feel that your property must be in the middle of bumfuck nowhere, and I mean nowhere in the sense that it isn't even close to major cities in flyovers. I hope you know what you're doing, because location determines alot of potential opportunities for your kids.
Jackson Barnes
Assuming that its built well enough, or that it's well taken care of it may last for a long time. The issue is that it would still require a solid slab on grade foundation , footings, and so on, to prevent the property from settlement.
I'm not opposed but it's more work than meets the eye, and most people wouldn't know where to start.
Adam Perry
Yeah bamboo can overtake your shit, be careful with that crap.
