I built my own house on a $10,000 one acre lot and I don't even see another house.
I see oak trees and the Pacific Ocean and I recommend people investigate building their own house because it's really easy.
And I since I did that the year of the first Iraq war in 1989, I have not had a mortgage for thirty years and that allowed me to save my 401k up and have a nice retirement.
But a hammer is pretty easy to use and a saw and it's just a standard ranch, two bedroom, two bath, a living room.
You know, it's a 1,400 square foot house.
And I feel very fortunate.
And I wished I this is a a moment of hope for other people.
I hope that somebody can hear me and think about, yeah, I could buy a hammer and a plan and build my own house.
