I'm happy, not lonely, debt free, build muscle cars, and own some land I can live off if I want or need to. I discovered that women were the source of my stress, debt, and anxiety. How to do all of it, and then she tries to jump to someone she thinks is better.. they never have yet.
On dad's side, my grandpa was born in 1910, grandma in 1915, they married in 1932. She never drove, raised chickens, had a huge garden, canned food she grew every year, did laundry, quilting, kept the house spotless and she had 4 kids who survived. They both made it to the 1990s, she went first. Grandpa never had to worry about the house, food, and laundry, she handled that for him, and he handled EVERYTHING else, the farm, finances, transportation, the lot of it. She was like 5'1" and tough as nails, a hardcore first generation born in the US German.
My mom got a job in the late 70s, because the farm economy was terrible thanks to a grain embargo. She was the cook at my school, then a custodian at my high school a while later. Dad farmed then got jobs at farm equipment dealerships selling parts and equipment, he was a lot better at that than he was at farming. When I left for the military in 1989, dad sold the land to my cousin, his sister's kid, and did the sales thing. He didn't have someone around to do all the work, he also got a furnace because I kept the house warm with firewood from age 8 to 18. Mom kept on at the school and retired there in 2012, but mom also cooked, did laundry, kept the house up.. The garden went away when I enlisted and my older brother got an in town job.
These people that think wives just sat around and watched TV have no idea, grandma almost never turned the TV on. She liked the quiet. I miss her cooking. I was always looking for a woman like her, dedicated, honorable, trustworthy, capable despite being tiny... I never found one.
I stopped looking ten years ago, now they are a means to an o face. Nothing more. Its sad what has become of women, I think their lives are too soft and they are given too much without earning it.

That depends on where you live, rural areas have much lower costs than cities. If you want to live in a large city, yeah its going to be exorbitant. $5k a month to rent a one room apartment? Thats a down payment on 10 acres where I live.
However, all the jobs I used to do are gone now, the only one still available is construction, and with considerable education, working on cars. Very few machinist/CNC jobs, they were all sent south of the border 20 years ago. Where I live now there is no industry, the main source of revenue is tourism, snowmobilers in winter, RVs in summer. If you have internet income where you aren't going to a job, you're doing it where you live, rural areas are ripe for the taking.
There is no way I could live in a city, a fixed VA income means I have to live somewhere inexpensive. I live alone because I am not giving away another house and most of my income to an unfaithful succubus. My land is paid off, I am debt free, and own 13 acres, I could easily support someone and have an enjoyable life. Not going to... because they cannot be trusted.
