Has anyone successfully gotten by with stable investments living innawoods/on the fringes of society/in a super low-cost area?
To keep up my “normal” lifestyle in a major metro on 4-10% returns long term I would need $1-2M+ (before taxes), but if I bought some shack in rural NH I could get by on dividends from ~$500k.
Is this worth doing or would I turn into Ted Kaczynski?

I have a house in Washington. It's nice. Winter is comfy. I light fires and read about BoringDAO, unironically.

Yeah, 4% rule from index funds is also an option

Then you start crying because the grocery store is 25 miles away, your cabin is cold as fuck because you ran out of dry wood, the blizzard cut off the roads, there's no pizzerias and craft beer pubs next to your home, your internet connection is shit, and you have to do all the maintenance yourself.

Just do yourself a favor and stay where you are. Cityfags always ruin everything

Ironically it's much easier to be completely disconnected from people in cities. Out in the countryside everyone tends to know each other.

A worrying amount of my life history mirrors his own, so I’m overly familiar out of fear of becoming like him.

Fair.
>>23568564
Seriously. I grew up in the country and was friends with all the neighbors. Now even people that live in the same building as me, that I exchange emails with about building maintenance and shit, I never talk to when I pass in the hallway. It’s creepy and alienating.

You could always move to a small town in the countryside near nature. That way you get the best of both worlds: having a social life with access to nature and without the stresses of city life. Pretty comfy desu.

I'd like to know why so many people have this idea of living a private, secluded life? Its either somewhere in a lodge deep in the woods, or living in some super guarded fortress in a third-world country. This seems to be a common trait with people here on /biz/

because society is full of retarded sheep and its way healthier for you mentally and physically if you get one of those places. you get some animals and live off them unless you're some pussy that wants everything handed to you easily which in turn doesn't lead you to self improvement

I don't think it's as much about seclusion as it is about self sufficiency and independence. The cabin in the woods meme is that you have almost no overheads, maximum freedom and are able to extract resources from nature without having to pay a cut to the jew or roastie.

A friend of mine grew up in the country before living in the city. He went out alone to some lake to go fishing and saw someone else across the lake with him. He told met there's not a soul for miles, though he felt it odd this guy happened to be there to,watching So he's fishing and he waves at the guy. The guy doesn't wave back but just stares at him.

This guy is just staring at him. Not fishing, or doing anything. As he's fishing the guy in the boat reaches down and grabs something but hides it and slowly makes his way to my friends boat. At that point my friend dropped everything and got as quick as he can out of the lake. The guy is doing the same trying to get to him, but he makes it to his car first and gets as fast as he can towards the main roads. Hasn't been back since
