Your House and Living Successfully: Part 2/4

The Farmer Model:

The Farmer lifestyle model is characterized by permanent stationary structures that are frequently large, and equipped with many features and extensive embedded infrastructure. The Farmer model require good farm land to succeed. This perennially good farmland permits the farmers to build expensive unmovable living quarters and lots of expensive infrastructure that will pay for itself over time.

The Empires of the Farming model are numerous and have been known to last as long as 500 years under the same government. The Roman/ English/ American Empires are premiere examples.

Quite naturally, since the American Empire is a Farmer Model Empire, the commonly accepted American Dream is that of Home ownership. Even the smallest of homes are much too big to hook up to a truck and tow away without thousands of dollars of equipment, expertise, and permits. They are usually designed and built to be hooked up to the buried infrastructure built by the community to provide even the most basic features like water, power, and sewage. Frequently at least some land not covered by the house is included, and has some kind of boundary structure like a fence or at least some markers.

If you earn your money by running your own business and moving outside of your home territory will only hurt you, then you have a Farmer's style income. Then you can build a Farmer style house as you have little reason to move.

To be continued.
