Getting out ... (whilst you're still alive)

[dojo]

Something that has been on mind recently (and follows on in a similar vein to the Life's too short thread).

Has anyone considered (or actually has) getting (got) out youngish, as in selling up releasing equity and buying out right in a cheaper area and becoming a lot more self sufficient.

Obviously if you have LOADS of money is fairly easy but I'm interested in knowing how much money you think one needs as a minimum.

I think the only way I can I could make it work would be to move abroad, buy a flat in the UK to retain some monthly income and a base if I need to return then kit the house out overseas with renewable energy, some out buildings to airbnb & enough land to be able to farm to a limited degree!!

maybe/probably just pipe dreams but...
