I think about it all the time, problem is there arn't really any remote jobs here.
One thing that's making me consider is the fact that taxes here are too high, and so are most other costs of living. I'd love to buy land in the bush in an unorganized township (more FREEDOM and less taxes) and just build a nice house/cabin and live there, semi off grid. Generate my own power, heat, and being in a low tax area, would mean costs of living would be WAY lower than they are in a city, even a small one.
But still need a source of income nonetheless, there would still be some monthly costs like insurance, and there's still SOME taxes, and need groceries etc too, and of course one time purchases like toys, repairs to infrastructure like well, septic, power etc and what not.
So if I were to do it, I'd want to find some kind of online gig. Youtube or something like that. Hard to really make it big with anything like that though.
That said, my current situation is kind of a between. I live in a small city, so not exactly that far from nature, and it's a fairly laid back environment compared to say, the GTA where it's crazy hustle and bustle. Costs of living are not as high as the GTA (But still high) and there's not much pollution etc. Nice to be able to own a house AND be 5 minutes from work too. So I think I just need to keep what I have and be lucky I'm not in the GTA or other big city environment. I can see stars, moon, sometimes even Mars from my bedroom window, I don't think too many big city dwellers can say that. Sometimes even catch the northern lights from the end of my drive way.
So my goal is to pretty much just stick here for now, but when I retire, or if I win the lotto, totally want some off grid land and live there.
