My farm land is in wv so its not the best land and my commute would take me out of state, and there are no decent schools.
Easier to type now on a laptop keyboard. School is the biggest problems now in the area of WV where the family farm is the school system was just audited by the state due to excessive corruption. My father was a machinist and had to change jobs a couple times as business sold out overseas so he ended up driving to MD for work before he retired. I'm in IT, I'd probably have to drive a couple hours each way to work. So for now were living near the city and close enough I can walk to work if needed (.5 miles). If I were single I'd work 4 10 hours days or even 3 13 hour days and live in a car in the parking lot and drive down to the farm on my days off. For now I have to work around the normal school schedule but am planning on building a small cabin on the farm, somehting small enough that it can be self sustaining (too far away from utilities) and we can spedn spring break and summer vacation there. Not much in the way of private schools there, some come and go bankrupt in a few years.
But what it comes down to is to get the ideal place like you have, sure its doable, one must save up money and then find that place for sale. But until then thats why I put a higher priority on bugging out to the land I do have. Maybe that explains it better.
