150K is too low for the house.......we both want more then that and this may be the last house we ever live in. I already have money invested and my salary is there for as long as I want it so the future is secure.

I am being 100% serious in wondering whether or not it is worth it to swim upstream and work like a maniac trying to convert a piece of property intoa hunting sweet spot and creating all the headaches that come along for the ride like trespassing, poaching, caring for the land, and fighting with the neighbors over 100 different things.

I could set aside $100,000 and at $4,000/yr I could go on a trip every year for 25 years and be able to hunt top end game in some of the finest places in the world and have someone else take care of all the headaches for me........All I have to do is book the flight and get my tags.

The allure and charm of stepping off my back porch with bow in hand is strong indeed though................no matter what is waiting for me in the trees ahead.
