I've decided that I want either one of two things for my retirement. I either want a nice, quiet little farm out in the middle of nowhere near the ocean in a country with very few people or I will find myself a deserted little island somewhere in the Pacific and become a permanent Sea Gypsy, selling and trading my wares and fish. Whichever one I choose, I will have a small garden with a few fruit trees that are native to the area or at least won't harm the natural ecosystem; that way I can sell or trade the extra fruits & veggies for the things I may need.
If I have a small little farm somewhere, I will build my own house, by hand, and make it as self-sufficient as possible so I won't need to depend on anyone for the things I need. I will have an animal farm with goats for milk, chickens, and sheep for wool. I will learn how to spin thread and make my own fabric so that I won't ever have to buy anything I can just make it all myself with the wool from my own sheep. Any extra animals I happen to gain through procreation of my animals I will sell for extra cash. I'm thinking I want a hobbit style home where it is all built with thick and harden wood with a layer of soil and grass covering it. as if my home were simply a hollowed out hill~^^
If I go for some deserted island somewhere, I will build a whimsically shack that will be capable of surviving the ocean storms with hammock beds and a sandy floor. I may not have an animal farm in this case unless the island can support it without the animals harming the natural environment of the island. If not, then I will focus on my artwork and sell that to make money. I will write books and trade the seafood I catch for the supplies I need.
I'm still trying to decide which one I would like better. It's still pretty much 50/50. Once I start sailing in a year or two however, I will have a better idea of which one I might like best~^^
