/biz/ bros hear me out:

Lets say I wanted to buy a plot of undeveloped land (pic related). It's $88,000 in Oregon. Why couldn't i do the following:

- If I work a crappy Amazon warehouse tier job paying $20 an hour I'll take $624 a week or $2496 a month after taxes.
- Assuming I can live on the bare minimum of expense ($150 a month on food/rent) we're at $2346. I can achieve this by sleeping in my car, crashing on friends/families couches, etc.
- This works out to $28,152 a year.
- Give the cost of the property is only $88,000 after ~3.13 years I'll have enough to pay for it outright in cash.
- Then I can retire on the land and collect free government gibs as I do little shit jobs to sustain myself and improve the land.

Why wouldn't this work? It's only ~3 years of suffering for a lifetime of getting away from it all.

Where are you getting a zero% interest loan for raw land? Most banks won't do land loans except with a 50% down payment and crazy rates.
Also if you can get a loan for $90k you could literally just buy SPY shares with it and use the growth/dividends to rent a studio apartment. You wouldn't have to work at all.

its 5000 above sea level and one of the driest places in all of the USA. what water there is has all been doled out and spoken for, and even the guys with water rights cant grow much more than alfalfa on it.

Klamath is a 2 hour drive away, and that's not much of a "city". Realistically any sort of business you have to get done has to be done in Bend, which is like 3-4 hours away weather depending.

its not temperate in any reasonable sense. irrigation has made some ranching possible, but you are too late to capitalize on that. a life of "just existing" on worthless high desert land free from the rat race might sound appealing to a common wageserf, and I'm actually not even faulting you for feeling that way, but the reality is extremely depressing.

And you expect that exact piece of land to be on the market without increasing in price for 3 years?

Also, I don't get how you expect to make a living after you move to your property? Money grows on trees in that particular plot of land?

That being sad, it would be quite impressive if you actually managed to live like a hobo while saving money, especially after you have a few thousand just parked there, not even earning interest.

I actually am pretty frugal with food. I'm already accustomed to eating poverty tier meals ($2 to $3 a plate) and I usually only eat twice a day. Skip breakfast most days.

>How do you get from wherever you're crashing to and from the warehouse? $4/gallon is here to stay

OP if you're able to live on $150 a month, that $88,000 can earn you around $200 a month on average just from the most basic bitch dividends from whatever top 30 DOW company you want to put it in.

OK.
What free gibs what shit jobs and how much will you PROFIT out of those?

"I'll go be a handyman and fix small shit in people's houses!", great, you're in a rural area where most people do most of the work themselves. How far away is the nearest urban area with a decent population (>50k at least)? How much do you burn in gas to get there? Where's the closest hardware store? How much more expensive are the items there?
How will you get clients?
Same thought process applies for other jobs.

While it probably is overpriced, the price jump might be from when they added the structures (shed + 2 small greenhouses, going by the photos)
Still a rip-off, but seemingly with a reasonable explanation for a price increase.

Well, my dream wouldn't really be to UncleTed it out and live off gibs, but more like, have somewhere a couple hours away to get away from it all the way people do summer cabins. Just. Not a cabin that costs me as much as a decent condo in Chicago.

the midwest always seems great in the summer months, live here november-april and you'll understand why so many snow bird

the infrastructure sucks, the people are all rejects who never left, every job pays 15-22/hour, all the major cities are full of niggers, and the suburbs have been ruined by diversity and H1-b VISAs. it's been nothing but downhill since ~2008 in terms of demographics - that's when white population peaked in public schools

everyone who has the chance to leaves, leaving the area full of white trash rejects. the women are fat feminists who view marriage and children as death, they all end up single in their mid-30s because the prettiest girl in their friend circle landed chad in her teens and they're hopelessly chasing an equivalent

the men are your typical white trash dumbasses who tat themselves up, love to vape and smoke weed, ruin nature with bluetooth speakers blasting shit country music, litter everywhere, drive full sized pickup trucks, LOVE to fish, and are ok with living out of a trailer - then they call this "high testosterone behavior"

then men who aren't like that leave during their college years and take jobs elsewhere (NYC, chicago, denver, austin, raleigh, etc.)

Yeah I have noticed that honestly. ALL my friends in Chicago are Michiganders, but actually being in Michigan or Wisconsin, that "rejects who never left" phenomenon is HEAVY. And I've read some stuff that blames Chicago's brain-draining for the outgrowth of the nu-Upper-Midwestern conservatism. The people here are freaky, lumpy retards. BUT, they're white and they seem to be having babies like it's going out of style. In a way I admire it, though the thought running through my head was "Oh, so this is where all those dudes posting on 4chan come from...." - You know the ones. The "My wife and kids in an 87% white county, you could never get me near one of those big cities" guys. Granted I live in Niggertown, USA, but still.

I was born and raised in rural Pennsylvania, and I moved to New York City over a decade ago: the scenario you described of the Midwest also pertains to PA, too.
Whenever I visit family back home, my small quaint town feels like Brazil or South Africa now.
I work for an investment bank in Manhattan and earn a decent living, but my friends back home are all 30+ wagies who earn peanuts working in retail and spending their meager income on consoming.
Back in PA, ever white person is a fat redneck like Larry the Cable Guy, and every nonwhite person is a ghetto thug.
It's really sad.

Also, inb4 someone says, "Cool story bro", I have a little anecdote about my visit back home to PA a few months ago:
I wanted to escape Manhattan and visit the country, so I went hiking in Central PA.
The park outside the nature preserve was filled with Mexicans blasting shitty music.
When I started hiking, I saw three trashy white trash rednecks smoking cigarettes on the trail.
A trashy interracial couple riding loud dirtbikes sped past me, despite the sign saying no motor vehicles.
As I left, a huge family of Indian tourists appeared out of nowhere and kept staring at me and taking pictures.
As I got in my car, some Puerto Rican thug in a loud riceburner was driving around in circles in the parking lot and revving his engine.
I went to a small convenience store to get a drink, and the clerk was a fat white woman who looked deformed.
As I left the store, a shirtless gay couple staggered towards the door slowly and struggled to open the door as if they were high on drugs or brain damaged.
So much for getting away from the city for a few days.

I grew up in rural Northern Iowa and moved to Northern NJ for almost a decade and have since moved back to the state to help take care of my aging parents a few years back but it sounds a bit different in my experience than PA. The town I grew up in hasn't changed a bit, except for the fact that everyone is 10 years older, some have died and Hispanics are moving in bringing their problems with them, lots of them work for dogshit low wage at meat packing plants 30-40 minutes away. I can sympathize with the earnings, any of my old friends that stayed make mediocre wage at best, one of my friends is an unemployed 40 year old communist virgin who lives with his dad (he did it to himself by refusing to finish a software engineering degree, lmao he'd probably be the wealthiest of all my friends if he put the last 10% of efforts in for the piece of paper), another teaches English internationally since he couldn't get a job anywhere with his biz degree, my engineering friends moved to California, urban Pennsylvania, Texas, or Massachusetts upon graduating. The white guy being Larry the cable guy is true, fortunately we don't have many truly ghetto people (like I'd come across in places like Paterson or Elizabeth, NJ) but do have some trashy Hispanics. In any regard, watching my old neighbors die and be replaced by Hispanics is a bit depressing, there are almost no young white families around. Makes me grateful to live in a more prosperous part of Iowa.

How much government gibs can you get?

Oregon gets pretty cold and warm over the year, so it'd be worth having temperature control sorted out. Sleeping in your car at negative temperatures would be rough.

Might be worth waging for another year or two to help save some money for emergency expenses, car repairs, etc. and so you can buy things like a wood stove, solar panels, batteries, insulation, the sort of stuff that you can't just build yourself easily, but would add a lot of convenience.

You can have the vast majority of those things now, completely devoid of society. Do you think people in the past were living in filth completely devoid of entertainment staring into the sun all day? You can produce your own power via solar, get internet via starlink, and still travel once a month into town for cleaning supplies if that's what you want. All without having to deal with randoms making noise while you're trying to sleep or actively looking to harm you in your daily life.

Once you no longer have the monthly rent nut to worry about you can live on surprisingly little. but to answer your question i'm sure theres plenty to do. Hell, even shitty remote customer service gigs are an option once you get some kind of internet set up.

Yeah I think you're probably right anon, It'd be difficult to pad everything by yet another year of waging but honestly it would make things much easier in the long run.

>How much government gibs can you get?
I honestly have no idea, in CA the gibs people get are pretty decent. Sometimes they'll cover all electrical expenses, food, and even subsidize rent (if the landlord is willing to play ball). One anon said the gibs were weak in Oregon though so couldn't tell ya.

republicans/conservatives aren't against institutions existing (socialism) - you see this as the republican leaning suburbs always have the highest salaried teachers, law enforcement, and city maintenance.

they're just vehemently against that money going towards non-whites.

Sure, but you still need to know as accurately as possible how much you'll get, from gibs or from work and exactly how much you'll need.
Again, if you start working as a handyman (just an example) and you can get $25/hour, sounds fine. But then you have expenses, maybe you'll burn $5 in gas to get any job. Materials, car maintenance, taxes.
How much profit would you get out of work?
Study the whole thing in depth, be as accurate as possible on the numbers.

I'm not american, but all I'm telling you is actually in good faith, as I've considered moving to a more rural area in my country.
Cheap(er) rent, usually less diversity, better outdoors.
Problem?
Little to no jobs (and I have no luck getting jobs in an urban area, let alone a rural one)
My (tiny) side business? I would have to drive 20-30 minutes each way to ship orders and to grab materials. That would fuck the entire logistics.
