What is the appeal of the former over the latter? You can buy a few acres and just build your damned house. Why do you want a mortgage? Do you think you're winning there, like you aren't the sucker in that transaction? Banks aren't losing, that's for sure. Why do you want to be such a sucker, living a sort of indentured servitude?

Do people in your country ever choose the latter, or is everybody like some sheep nutcase living in dirty, ugly, smelly, loud cities, working to pay for a substandard existence?

People moved out of the country and into cities for a reason. Rural life is fucking hard. Actually producing enough off the land to subsist or trade with is hard fucking work, and if you don't have 14 children it's even harder. You're working sun up and sun down doing back breaking work. After the novelty wears off, you'll dream of sitting on your couch and ordering food to your door on your fucking phone.

I have a small homestead. Raise animals, garden, etc. It’s an awesome way of life but a financial burden in every single way. Thousands of dollars on fences, sheds, stalls, animals, vet bills, hay, etc. If you think you’re going to make a living doing it, you better be charismatic and entertaining and start a YouTube channel cuz you’re not gonna pay the bills off 5, 10 or even 50 acres.

First, the land isn't paid off. Second, he has to worry about health, clothes, etc. With only a small farm, you will not be able to afford anything. The only way a farm pays even a subsistence lifestyle is if you have hundreds of thousands put into tractors, irrigation, seeders, tillers, harvesters, etc. You'd need about half a million to buy the land, 100k to build a shack.
10K in just hand and power tools. Another 100k to build a small barn. https://www.primalsurvivor.net/much-land-need-self-sufficient/#:~:text=With%20livestock%2C%20you'll%20likely%20need%20at%20least%2030%20acres.&text=Thus%2C%20if%20you%20are%20going,is%20probably%20more%20realistic%20though.

I assume that people would argue

- maintenance supplies
- health insurance
- vehicle insurance & fuel

Let us be frank: property tax is a nominal expense in this situation. You'd have a few acres and a small home that you built. It's not valued highly.

Water, food, and electricity are non-issues in the modern day. Non-perishable food is just given away. We have efficient electronics and affordable solar systems.

>>51652018
I never mentioned farming specifically. Amish don't focus on farming nearly as much as they did. They have genuine businesses. It's a non-sequiter.

By natural chemicals I mean things like neem oil, which you will need if you don't want bugs to eat the living shit out of your crop.
As for nutrient boosting, I just use miracle grow with a mix with a special ingredient which makes my nugs dense and frosty.

>build a homestead
plausible, but costly. if you're starting from scratch be ready to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars just for basic things such as a septic system, a water well, furnace/wood stove, etc
>grow food
again, plausible. but you need the equipment to do it. and you better get good at learning how to farm fast. plus youre going to need several acres just to sustain yourself with crops and livestock (livestock another expense with vet bills, etc)
>fix things yourself
yes, but again. the costs add up. tractors aren't cheap. neither is maintaining a house

living off the land is plausible, but a lifestyle. and if you desire to do it, you better start reading up on it and be ready to drop 500k, easy. and devout your entire life to it. its obviously easier to live in a city condo with a six figure programming job and order takeout
