Many MGTOW members talk about buying land and going minimalist. Well this is my story of how i did it, and what to expect and how the impact

Firstly The How. Housing markets. The government taxes people through monetary inflation. Well you can tap into this wealth transfer scam by buying property in growing cities fringe areas. I bought a new brick and tile in a property dip. They tend to be cyclable . And sold 5 years later which gave me a large pool of money.

The goal is to trade in homes with high value-low assets in cities to homes with low value-high assets in rural. What you are really trading in on is remoteness because most people want to be in big cities. Net result is you get a LOT more value for your money buying rural.

Understand the main risk though. This is likely a one way journey. I couldnt contemplate moving back to a city, youd take a big $ loss for starters

Secondly how to support yourself. Forget selling eggs or any such income from a lifestyle or small farm block. You need a LOT of land to support yourself and lots of land costs lots of money. This story is for low to middle class men. So you need a job. For me my job goes where i am as i work from home. But dont despair, what i found in my experience is that rural communities have major labor shortages among farm workers/managers and trades people and teachers etc. In short, work out HOW you will support yourself should you sell up, quit your job and move rural.

Thirdly the Cons. -You are isolated, get used to be alone. Get used to the feeling of friends, family visiting then saying goodbye for a year or more. For me, i am alone much of the time but i am not lonely.

-Your property becomes your hobby. Dont do this is you need to socialize or travel or play sports. Every weekend typically has chores to do. Fences to build or repair. Burst farm source water pipes. Tree down that needs cutting. Hedges to trim. etc etc. Never ending. You MUST enjoy being a handy man. For myself, i never was so ive learnt as ive gone.

-The cost. My advice, when you buy a property only pay 2/3 of what you can afford. Leave a large buffer of $$ to spend. Because properties are always run down in some aspect OR they are new and lack EVERYTHING. My property came with 2 extremely large paddocks. Useless for my needs and fencing is expensive. Also that you are buying a canvas, you are going rural to make an impact and that costs money. New sheds to build, etc.

-Insular communities. Rural families have their life long friends, you are an outsider and likely will remain one and only your grandkids will be accepted lol. dont think you can easily make lots of new friends. Chances are they have all their friends and also, distances to travel to socialize is far and EVERYONE is busy ALL the time. Including you!

Fourthly The Pros. The best for last and why we should do it.

-Straight up mental quality of life improvements. The satisfaction is immense. The loss of crowds and traffic woes etc will be a weight off your soul plus you can sit and stare at beauty and products of your labor everyday. Most men struggle with depression, well for me going rural was the cure (along with mgtow)

-Having a canvas. You want a water slide, boom there is a place for one. A zip line? 2 perfect trees. Your kids need a place to ride and train ponies? Well first thing i built was an arena and tack shed. I have my own golf driving net, a pool. You have ROOM to do shit! And that shit enhances your quality of life.

-Animals. They are so cool. I have sheep, hand reared and this year i got my first free lambs born. These are for food. I also have calves. Btw best beef ive ever eaten. But these are for $, big profits from turning grass to beef. I have chickens for eggs and pets. I have a goat that is so well trained. 4 ponies and a horse rescue for breaking in. oh and ducks. Therapy animals really.

So while i dont think going rural is for everyone, i do however recommend it IF you do due diligence first.

Happy new year.
