Buy cheap home, with some land to grow food in, as far away from society as possible. $50,000-$200,000
Buy some guns to protect myself from intruders. $1000-2000
Put some tall walls around the property $? (maybe 20,000-40,000)
Adopt some dogs to keep the property safe. $100
Make basement and attic. $50,000
Buy a mediocre used car. $2000
Buy a poweful microscope and a precision instrument to see life. $100,000 (optional)
Marry.
Give $200,000 to my parents for the price of rasing me. (optional)
Give $100,000 to my aunt. (optional)
Give $100,000 for food for the needy and homeless. (optional)
In the cheapest, I'd say I only need
$174,100 ($100,000 home and $20,000 walls) to live my ideal life.
Add the extra 100,000 for my
instruments toys of science. = $274,000
Total with all optionals.
$674,100.
Now see, here, most of that is living in the slums kinda stuff.
2k car is a shitbox. very sub par.
A dog costs $110 to adopt from the pound
a 50-200k house would be a shitbox as well. Especially in the country.
In average, 600k is how much it costs to raise a child up to the age of 16 (if memory serves) so that'd help them, but still not paying all of it
1-2k would probably only get you a pistol or three. nothing bigger (unless your content with a pistol, then that's all good)
Unless you made the walls from something cheap, I doubt it'd be that cheap. Concrete is expensive as shit
But yeah, our economy is fucked, so that doesn't help.
