I admire you for that; I really do.

But I'm coming to the realization that rural land in upstate NY is reasonably priced compared top many other rural areas of the country. A couple years ago an exceptionally nice 90-acre section of woods and field a short ways from my house sold for $1,000 an acre. I did not have the money to buy it (still don't) but I regret that I did not pursue the possibility more. I'm finding out that kind of price is pretty reasonable. My hopeful goal at the moment is to make and save enough to buy the land of my dreams somewhere by the time I'm 60. If Whizbang Books continues to do well, it might happen. I wonder if I'll still be blogging then?Herrick Kimballhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17116051416696885647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13729569.post-67400809924125954362009-03-12T23:34:00.000-04:002009-03-12T23:34:00.000-04:00Hi Herrick, Have you ever thought of selling your...Hi Herrick,<BR/> Have you ever thought of selling your place (I'm thinking that NY land is going to sell high) and relocating to a cheaper part of the country! You might be able to get more debt free land that way. Just a thought. ann from KYhsmamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16776776920488061611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13729569.post-79879181644092928072009-03-11T22:11:00.000-04:002009-03-11T22:11:00.000-04:00Thank you for the info.Sorry for the anonymous, bu...Thank you for the info.<BR/><BR/>Sorry for the anonymous, but I could not get it to register with my google account for some reason.<BR/><BR/>My name is Sean Martin and I am a pastor in CT just starting out with my little homestead.
