I remember you liquidated everything, including a business if I'm remembering correctly. Are you using that to buy the consumables you use, such as gas and other fuels and food, etc?
If not, what are you doing to pay for those things, and if so, what will you do when it runs out?
Seeing all of your many posts on Arizona lately has left me a little homesick. Your posts have helped (a coworkers stories have helped too) inspire me to thinking about buying just some undeveloped land in the coming years since it would be more easily accomplished for me than a house as far as price.
Yes, that’s right, I was able to get my setup and the cash lasted almost a year, since then I’ve been surviving on crypto from blogging, a few cash jobs, and the ‘stimulus’ checks. I get some free food from time to time, at food banks and when volunteering at farms, use very little camp stove fuel as I can cook and heat with my wood stove, so it’s primarily gas for when I’m on the road and cellphone/car insurance besides food, primarily. I’ve learned to live off very little, and seem to always get just enough when I need it. I think I’ll have a week or two of work when I get up to Montana in a couple days, so that will keep me going for a while and/or cover some car maintenance. I’m hoping I can eventually get by with mainly just crypto and maybe selling a book or something some day.
I would certainly think land is a good investment personally, much cheaper to put a camper or even build a tiny home on some land rather than buying a house, plus there’s still relatively cheap land in some nice (although dry and rural) places in Arizona, New Mexico, and even Montana near where I was. I’ve always been chasing rising land prices when I was saving for land, so gave up on that goal for the time being, but there’s some really good land options around for under 50k for sure, even less depending on what one looks for.
I can see why you miss Arizona, really pretty diverse scenery, although a bit on the hot side at this time of year... Thanks for the support on here, really appreciate it!
