I get that.
I am in the process of building my own home myself (one of the perks of living in an uncivilized shithole is that you can do what you want without any permission because "it's better to say sorry than ask for permission" is Brazil's motto).
The best thing is that position of "fuck you". You own your house, you have some money in your bank, and you have a running car. You can afford to say "fuck you" to your boss. And even though you probably won't do it, life is way easier to live this way.
I got a few acres of land in the rural part of my town (property taxes are literally just 10 USD a year there). I paid less than 20k USD for the land because it's kind of hilly, but omg, it's surrounded by woods.
Planning to build something that kind of looks like this, but out of stone (I have a shitload of hand-cut ashlar sandstone blocks that were hand cut).
Literally, just waiting for the summer to dry the land so I can put the excavator there (i need 100 meters of road and want a lake too)
Good luck m8, we will make it!
