I grew up in the country, went to university, got into debt, moved to the city, started wagecucking, still in debt. I'm 25 and urban life is devouring my soul. My ultimate goal is to get back to the country and live as autonomously as possible, and eventually start a family. Here's my general plan:
>Reduce expenses >Get out of debt >Build up savings >Work online until a sustainable basic income is achieved >Quit wagecuck job >Acquire a modest house in a low tax rural state on a few acres of land - ideally near a stream or natural source of water >Plant a large vegetable garden >Buy a few chickens >Do as much home cooking as possible >Sell surplus vegetables >Install solar panels etc. to reduce energy bill >At some point acquire trad waifu and have kids
I'm an avid reader and writer. I enjoy analyzing current events from an esoteric/meta perspective, sharing practical advice and reviewing things, especially books. Yes writers are a dime a dozen but if I could manage to earn a modest salary from it, I could see myself doing it for the rest of my life. I'm at the point where I'd rather be a NEET and do things I actually care about than continue the path I'm on.
Any tips on escaping 9-5 cuckoldry and achieving this goal, Sup Forums?

I'd be happy if I can fulfill 5 of those I'd be surprised if I don't break 2 or less of those within the first 2 months.

Lose some weight.
Thats it. Everything else is on track. Not even that chubby. Just a beer gut but I wanna be beach ready.

What kind of writing do you want to do?
Isaiah Morgan
You should look into getting a job as a farm hand, I make $60k a year. Sure the work is long and hard but it is better than being in an office. Now I've got a ton of cash and all winter to chill.

Might start an eclectic sort of blog, improve my writing, and eventually write books once I have more of a following. Topics would range from esoterica to current events to practical advice. I write every day to keep up my chops and those are the topics I gravitate towards. I find single issue blogs pretty dry.
Joshua Barnes
Not a bad thought. My college buddy and his wife were farm hands for a couple years now they own their own farm. They even got to live at the farm so they didn't have any rent to worry about.
Kayden Peterson
How the fuck does a farm hand make 60k??
I worked as a farmhand and made tops $12/hr before the guy laid me off before the season was over due to lack of work to do.

Depends where you are. I was working on a massive cash crop farm out in Alberta. You can realistically get those wages in places like North Dakota or Montana too. I've seen job ads for it you just need the right skills.
What I'd do is call up a bunch of farmers saying you want to learn the trade but have no skills so far and offer free labour in exchange for room and board or something.

Finally making friends and learn how to dance.

That's dumb, free labor? I did a legit farming apprenticeship where I was paid $100 a week and had room and board, and it was a great experience, but I left after 3 months because $100 a week is shit. And I don't want to work on giant marijuana farms.

I'm starting work installing electronics and shit in February. Don't know about the job but I know it pays a professor's salary. So instead of having 2017 goals I have the next two months to do some shit.
>learn programming
and that's probably it. I have a quite good grasp of Python but I would like to learn Java for android development so I could make apps and shit. Also gonna try and at least get the mathematical foundation for machine learning, same with Python.

>Escape 9 to 5 It's called retirement.
A better plan would be to get a trade license, electrician, plumber, or even engineer stamp so they can't send your job to China. Move to a small town, be happy. No future in farming.
Joshua Ward
The farming is mostly to sustain myself and family. The majority of my income would come from writing.
I refuse to have a boss.

Tradesmen don't have bosses. They contract for different jobs.
You can grow crops and have a trade, but I'd have to be convinced that the writing trade isn't a poverty tier.

We'll see. I'm not against working with my hands, I'm not Jewish.
