A quality meme starts with a good idea and a little effort. Ain't nobody got time for that.

This community is for having silly fun and should not be taken seriously.

Buzzkills and lemmitors are not welcome here. Control yourself or be removed.

With a little knowhow and elbow grease, someone can set themselves up for a comfortable life with a measly 50k and become self sustainable.

Say more.

Teaching yourself horticulture, buying a plot of land, renting the equipment to clear your living space and dig to install a septic tank, and either building or buying a tiny home, is less complicated and expensive than it sounds and the returns are for life, and your descendents'.

Most people think it's too hard to do, but this life is less difficult for me than modern city/suburb life. It's more natural to what the human experience is supposed to be. Free of slavery/perpetual debt. And I used to work 12hr days of hard labour, yet still paycheck to paycheck, never advancing in life, deeply miserable.

Hunting, fishing, trapping, and foraging are easily taught invaluable skills that should be first-hand knowledge.

It really all depends on what a person truly wants out of their life.

Edit: bonus, you can always sell your goods at markets for extra cash if you need it.

I don't think you can even buy a tiny home for $50k these days, let alone a big enough plot of land to support all of these activities, and also pay for the equipment to get the land ready.

You can buy pre-fab tiny homes here for 15-20k these days. There's so many companies doing it now you can find affordable models that fit your needs.
