Have lived in the deep south my entire life. Things went really badly during 2020 and we realized we needed to get out. Started saving and preparing, our plan was to move before the next election.

We have bought a 1920's farmhouse that still has 9 acres. 100 year old apple trees, blueberries, vineyard. It's amazing. Part of the land is industrial zoned with power and I'm going to build my machine shop there. We got a steal of a deal, it would be a $500k house and land here.

I bought a '98 Chevy box truck. The boy and I will be making our second trip tomorrow.

May I be so inquisitive and ask what you've paid for it?

$165,000. Pictures were awful, and it has poor curb appeal due to asphalt shingle siding. However, the asbestos in the shingles mean it will last forever and it has hardwood floors throughout.
