[QUOTE="mml373, post: 1741030, member: 38746"] I disagree. I bought a 35 acre farm because that's all I could afford after 23 years of moving every 2 years (military service). No land inherited -- taxes and circumstances forced sale of my mother's family farm this year. I've managed money wisely under the circumstances with military service, though I SHOULD HAVE perhaps bought a home and rented it out after service moved me elsewhere, then sold that property to apply to cash to farm purchase. A lot of folks just don't have an education in doing smart things with money, and are too far in the rat race (as I was, in the military) to really take the time to think too far into the future. I'd love 100 or 200 acres, but the costs are just prohibitive. Lenders require money up front in order to buy raw land. $200k in my area bought a run down farm on 35 acres, with a house and shop that I'm now having to rebuild. It isn't work ethic that's the problem, it is economics. [/QUOTE]
