I think someone like me - single, childless, loves living in a sub-400 sq. ft. space (no, really) - might have an easier, cheaper(?) go of it? A full-size house, with a wife, 2-3 kids, multiple rooms on multiple floors would have to require more than I would.

I've always liked the idea. As I get older I look around and I'm like "the sun ain't going anywhere anytime soon, the wind is always blowing and there are good, clean natural streams and wells". It would be neat to just have your little chunk of the world and making it work in that way. It would be cool to be off everyone's radar/mailings, etc. I certainly ponder it more now, at 52, then I did at 32.

All the things I used to think I wanted/needed...I was so wrong.
I'm 31 and already pondering all that.
