        There’s a life hack where you can buy food from a super market and just put the seeds from the food in dirt then boom, free food. Unless you’re doing exotics, they’re very low maintenance to the point where keeping them under control and not having too much food is the hardest problem.

        Also, there’s nothing stopping you or your nephew moving abroad for a far lower cost of living. South America is beautiful, Japan has cheap houses with land, and so on.

          Parents might have an issue with me abducting their child and taking them to a foreign country lol but it’s an intriguing idea.

            Lol, I meant teach them that they have options and doors that are always open unless they have a criminal record. I’m an immigrant and moved here on a whim and grow food, you should try growing food it tastes like love. When your nephew is 18 they can do whatever they want providing that they have someone like you supporting them that it’s OK to do that.

            Partner and I are currently weighing up moving to Europe, but I’m tempted by San Fran or Seattle for the utterly insane pay. Doesn’t mean Australia isn’t my home or where my heart is, and Australia is not even my country of birth.

            You can do that too, today if you wanted.
