Should I Sell It?

[Brewer]

Hello, I bought a wonderful little house almost 11 years ago, a beautiful house in a beautiful area but in an increasingly ugly country. I've been offered to move even further into country NSW Australia and go off grid with a handful of like minded people.

I've got no mortgage and considerable savings, could easily do this but would it be worth it? I realize it's 3D thinking and my like-minded friends and brother have perhaps been doing too much of it. We've been prepping for the last few years, got guns, stacked precious metals and stockpiled food and other supplies.

Should I sell my place and move? Thanks everyone.

Wow, I hear you! First, I have to say - I am amazed how ham-fisted the Aussie Gov't has been and even more amazed at the acquiescence and lack of a huge barroom brawl over the whole lockdown thing especially in Victoria. But I get it: hit hard and fast the most rebellious lot on earth (all that outcast DNA from the UK) and if you can pull that off, the rest of us will be a cake walk.

Anyway, you have asked the $64K question. The like-minded people part of it sounds good. But really, the key question is what is your life to be about in these times? What is your purpose here? How do you want to live it out? What part are you here to play?

I am asking myself these same things.

I don't have an answer for you. I have this smart-ass edgy sarcastic DNA strain in me that I have totally in check and locked down. Part of me wants to go full on chicken little and scream from the rafters: "Wake the effing hell up, people!" But I also intend to graduate to that next level and, ultimately, yelling from the rafters might have no positive effect at all. Furthermore, it seems graduating from the exploding clown car of 3D STS life involves leaving behind that edgy part of my machine. What is the right thing to do? All I can say is to pray to the heavens about it and don't do anything until you get a clear sign or a clear delineation of the choice you have to make. Get in touch with your own soul about it. That's the guy you need to ask.

hey Brewer, its a tough choice mate. Maybe you can provide some more information. When you say go off grid with likeminded people, is it an established community already or will you all create it together. Have you sat down and discussed the aim of the community, will you all own seperate land and be communal in sharing your food, expertise as a network or are you pooling funds?

What does it look like? Whats the level of like mindedness like? is everyone just trying to escape the government, or build something? What are your hopes and fears about moving, have you discussed these with your brother?

I think you're in a good position mate, to be able to do this. But i would say a lot of care needs to be had in moving forward in this. It sounds like a great opportunity, but one bad apple can destroy a community. From all the reading on psychology the forum has shared, its not wonder this can happen. So having a good grasp on this would also benefit in dealing with others. It's no doubt a great opportunity, but knowledge protects as we have heard the C's say on so many occasions. Can you go more in-depth about it all? Or is it early stages? If its early stages, its possibly the best time to really do your homework on the people involved etc. This also may help with making a decision and/or taking the plunge.

What other options do you have too? could you just move to the country yourself with what you have saved and by selling your house? What is it moving with these other people stirs you to do so then just going yourself. And im in no way implying anything, just think these are important questions to really hone in on your plan/aim.

I only wish i had the means to be able to move into the country so really excited for you mate.

I probably wouldn't sell until I was sure the next place is going to work out. In the interim the house that you own could be rented, but it's still there if things don't work out.

How does moving further away affect your employment? I read earlier today that the nature of your job is changing due to vaccination decisions, but rental income might give needed income supplementation if you don't have to sell the house to implement your plan.

I had similar thoughts as pointed here. It sounds your current living situation is pretty decent (maybe you can write more details if needed) so you can contemplate these questions first in order to find the answer. Just let it have time and avoid making any hasty decisions.

Renting the house sounds like good and safer option, if you decide to move to the countryside.

But what type of living situation would it be, are you all gonna live just close to each others or in one big community in a single house? What would be the aim and do these people share similar values with you? Have you spend long time with them before and seen how this type of living situation fits and affects their personalities? Are there any red flags? Just some additional questions to think through.

The people are good, lived and known them a long time, I even 'converted' one to the other side. There's a place for sale 145 acres with game, water, infrastructure in a food bowl area, could grow all food. The aim, perhaps a little more freedom for a couple of years. With stockpiling I could do the same here on my 1/4 acre block but looking how Australia is now nothing will work in the end.

The job is on the way out, some of their reactions to me putting my health first have been incredible. Thought about renting but would need to sell to buy the place, which would happen in about a month, thanks.

Lived together before, all good.

I'm not surprised, been a long time coming in this sport and house obsessed land, 70% are in full lock-step, very sad.

I've often wonder too but the worst thing about all this is my son, I feel terrible for bringing him into all this. I knew since 1994 that a great evil was present and vowed never to have kids but things happen. I knew they'd target him and they did, told me about the 'monsters with the big eyes' when he was 7, heartbreaking. I know he wouldn't mind moving further out but all the same....

Thanks for your input everybody, much appreciated, take care.

Totally - a couple of my kids are dogged with bizarre nightmares of epic stressed out struggles and lurking dark entities, also since childhood. One aspect of a move is getting away from the 5G and assorted EM fields which, I think, amplify our susceptibility to these attachments.
