Thanks for taking us on that lovely walk. Could you get any land from your brother? Omg I’m really excited about the challenge you are taking on. Have a great week. Mary, Joes wife 🙇♀️👏👍💪🙏💐🐈🐈⬛
Thank you Mary!!🌸 Yes, I could get some land from my parents/brother but I honestly don't want to live in that town. The property taxes are pretty high and I just don't love my hometown. There isn't much opportunity there. But it's okay, I feel very certain that I will find a great cheap option somewhere close by!☺️
Love the pre-pay cell phone! I use Tracfone, a year subscription for $199 gives me everything I need. Its about $17.50/mo when you add taxes and 911 service.
i am at a similar phase and have similar plans as you, for slow living, with a small place i call my own, nothing fancy. Still working 9-5 and living frugally to save as much as i can towards these goals. Thank you for sharing your experience
More or less, yes. I still don't know exactly where I want to be. I'm not allowing myself to go there yet, just until the rental property is officially sold and GONE. I'm really worried it may get dragged out, either by the tenant being unwilling to actually leave when the time comes, or for some other hiccup during the selling process (just going on past experience here 🙄). But I know I will be wanting to pay all cash so hopefully $50k or less!
@ That’s so true. There’s no point in getting excited until the monies in your hand. well, I sure hope that you find what you’re looking for. And glad Piper girl is feeling better ❤️
Adding your own well and septic can be so expensive. And where I live the cost of land is usually more expensive than the structure. I really want land for a homestead too. Hoping for the best of luck to you because you are always putting in the work so you deserve it!
Technically, I could buy some land from him or my parents. But I don't love my hometown and don't want to end up there. My brother doesn't either in the long term. I am kind of trying to coordinate where he may end up in the long term so I'm hoping that will work out! We have talked about buying a really big piece together, so that may be an option too!☺️
Even though you don’t have to pay your student loans right now they are still earning interest. If I remember right you have a big student debt. I just hate to see it grow even more because you are doing such a great job with everything else. I do believe that people should pay back their student loans but I don’t think there should be interest on them or very low interest.
I keep a close eye on mine. They are currently not earning interest right now. I agree with you. And like you said, I also agree that their interest should be structured VERY differently.
You are always thinking, planning, adapting, adjusting.
This is an awesome idea. It's something I've personally done for a while and I've found to be extremely beneficial. Best of luck Rachel!
Thank you Derrick! I'm so happy to hear that it's been working for you!
Your Aunt is a rock star and you are helping by being there. Love among family and friends is so powerful. I know first hand.
Absolutely!! And so are YOU!!💖
I love your plans for your home. I am confident it will happen for you.
That’s so kind, thank you!
You are the queen of "Make it work".
You got this, Rachel!
Thank you so much Robert!!!😃
You are the queen of "Make it work". And yes, you sound like a semi-retired person.
Love the sound of your challenge ❣️
Looking forward to seeing you smash this challenge!!

@ Property taxes can definitely be a decider. Best wishes for finding your ideal place 🤞🙏💐

Love it!
I'd love to get land too. Beautiful video. Thanks.

You’re KILLING IT!! Keep up the awesome work😀
Thank you so much!!!❤️
Oh, poor Piper, bladder stones.
Hi Rachel, have you checked around to see what a piece of land would cost? If you have, how much do they run in the area you want to live in?
More or less, yes. I still don't know exactly where I want to be. I'm not allowing myself to go there yet, just until the rental property is officially sold and GONE. I'm really worried it may get dragged out, either by the tenant being unwilling to actually leave when the time comes, or for some other hiccup during the selling process (just going on past experience here 🙄).

Yes they sure can be! I'm really sorry to hear that. I hope something pops up for you eventually! And thank you so much!!
Plz hit the 👍
So is there any land for sale near your brother’s property?? Sounds like you guys should collaborate!
Technically, I could buy some land from him or my parents. But I don't love my hometown and don't want to end up there. My brother doesn't either in the long term.

I love mint mobile, I have it and convinced my girlfriend to switch to them too.
How old are Piper and Pepe?
They are 2.5 and 3 years old! Pepe is the slightly older one.
@ Have a beautiful day, Rachel! ❤️🐈⬛
That’s why I’m trying to pay my loans off while they’re still in forbearance. But to each their own.
You are a good cat mama ❤
good morning, happy election day, sweetie :)
😊❤😊

you know he can be there for years if he fights you and doesn't want to leave right?
😢
Yes, fully aware! I've been trying to avoid an official eviction for MONTHS. But it's just gotten out of hand.
@@its.rachel.hickey Hire the YT guy that removes squatters!
Is it just me hearing an echo on the vid?
Sorry, not sure why
Thanks for that comment. I thought it was in my head 😆

And with the change in the WH there will be no mercy!
