What did you do for your best returnon investment?

Lol thanks cattle are my thing.

 

I would like a small farm. not to sell anything off it, but just to be able to live off the land & be self sufficient. my family, well not my family, but my relatives now are city slickers. all the ones who farmed were from the older generation. when I moved from the north down south, all the folks thought I had lost my mind. I did not like the farm land/life type when I was younger but, now that I have slowed way down in life & finally see what is really important in life, my mind has changed. just 5 acres or so would suit me fine. I've had enough of the fancy too expensive brick & motor subdivisions where it's just a rat race of competition. there is just some tranquility when looking out on God's green grass at dusk & dawn.



When you do get your farm, if ya get a fixer upper home, that would be real nice & much better than a home that needs no work, i.m.o. of course. being as young as you are with kids. I would as I have done, over the years get some projects on the house going & have the kids help & start a scrapbook, years later looking back you have great pic's & memories. I have 40 photo albums, plus electronic storage of the great bond I had with every one of my kid's.

 

Well we have taalked about a fixer up or build our own. My family (older generation) construction workers/roofers. So i know alot of the basics, and what i dont know,i know whwere to find out.

Thats for y'alls input.

 

Paid 20K down on a new Pete 379 w/all the bells and whistles, ran it 4 years and wrote it off, bought a covered wagon and did the same with it. Ran 130,000 miles a year. Kept everything polished and maintained and sold the Pete for 40 K and reinvested the money.
