<prompt> Human: I am a 26 year old male with an economics degree, just paid off my and my gfs debt and now we are talking about saving for the future. Ive always been under the belief that you live like this:Save 30k - buy landSave 10k - put a concrete slab on landSave 20k - put a decent structure upSave 10k - full solarSave 15k - drill a wellSave 30k - get septicTotal - 105,000 excluding taxes and assuming you can do a decent amount of work and be frugal. Has anyone lived like this? If so, can you give us some pointers on how you saved or maybe what you purchased? Im not the type of person who wants to take out a 350k loan for a house and I live in New England so houses are ridiculously expensive. Id rather build an off grid home for the future. Tell me Im not crazy :.  <response>: How long is it going to take to save 105K? You cant live on that until you get an occupancy permit, and that comes at the end of the process.I doubt that you can put up much of a livable, up-to-code structure for 20K, especially if the concrete slab costs 10K.
