We are in our early 40's and long story short we are tired of the rat race and want to move to TN and kind of go off the grid as they say. Land in that area has almost tripled in value in the past 15 yeas, so would I be crazy to cash out almost all my investments to by land and build a small house? (it is 50 acres in a great area that is only going to go up in value) We have different ways we plan to make money to support our day to day expenses but this would burn up all our savings. Do I really need money sitting in a fund until we retire, when I could enjoy it now. And worst case scenario we sell we sell and put it back into the bank. Am I crazy?
