OH and I were discussing savings last night, then the annoyingly long allotment list and the people on the committee who have two or three or more and huge gardens, then about wanting our next move to be to a house. Eventually we got to the topic of "investing" in land. OH's savings (which are far greater than mine) are earning very little right now and he wants to look into using some of it to buy a small plot of land locally. By small I mean 2 or 3 acres maximum but most likely even less than that. The "return" would be vegetables grown, edible weeds, occasional rabbits and maybe renting a bit out as allotments. He wants to look at some small plots being sold off by our local council which have various conditions making them undesirable for "developers" and "investors" so he's hopeful they will be reasonably priced.
It will be a long time before I have enough money to even consider something like that so I guess I'm just leaving him to it. It would be amazing, but it's one of several things he's considering.
Hi - Keep going, it will take a while to see the difference but your life will be better for it. Every penny you make on ebay, keep in your paypal account until you need something, e.g knickers or undies and then buy what you need from ebay traders - we only 'spend' ebay money, hence, money we've made so we live, as much as possible - cash neutral
ReplyDeleteI stopped by to return the blog visit and thank you for leaving a comment on mine. OH's plan sounds like a really good one. I hope it works out. I know what it's like though, to have a hard time saving money. Requires a lot of effort and patience, doesn't it?
