      1/ a young person (college aged) recently DMed to ask something in the space of "I don't know what I want to do with my life, but your homesteading lifestyle looks awesome ... how do I get from where I am now to something like that?" I'm going to make my response public >>>

      2/ First off, you asked if it was too late at age X to head in this direction. NO! Not at all! I didn't move to my farm until I was 42. So, what do you do age your age? First, and most importantly: GET A JOB. Get a job that you like, can do well at, and can save $ from.

      3/ Since you have no skills now, and no money, you're not in a very good position to move out to the country now. I mean, you could. You could rent a room or a small house, and then look for a job either in the country, at a sawmill or lumberyard, or at a convenience store >

      4/ or you could move out there now, and get a job back in the city, and commute 30 or 60 or 90 minutes each direction, twice a day. ...but all in all, I think it makes a lot more sense to stay in the city or burbs for now, and get a job, and earn some money.

      5/ Use that money to get yourself financially squared away. Google "Dave Ramsay", pay off your debt, learn good spending habits. And then start acquiring skills. Community ed and votech high schools have programs. I learned blacksmithing and welding that way.

      6/ If you rent a house, or a room in a house, maybe start a garden. Practice tiny things. Read books on your new hobby. Develop opinions on square foot gardening, fertilizers, etc Stockpile books. Spend a fraction of your salary on tools. Get a cheap Harbor Freight toolbox

      7/ and start picking up basic hand tools like hammers, levels, screwdrivers, a dill, drill bits. Maybe find a local "maker space" and practice your welding, build a table. Spend the first few year after college doing this, hooking up w the local community gardening group.

      8/ Your 20s are a time of minimal skills, minimal income, minimal options. It sucks, but that's how it was for me, and that's how it is for most of you too. Ever watch a rocket launch? Acceleration is more or less constant, but it starts at a speed of zero.
