> I cashed out and bought land/started building a multi generational house

interestingly, my wife and I have discussed this a lot too. We have 20 acres in SE Oklahoma that we got a really good deal on during the pandemic, the land is unplatted and the realtor didn't know there was water and power service already setup by the previous owner. We want to build a small cabin/house over the next couple years. It's like a retirement backup plan, "if everything goes to hell we can still go sit on our land in OK and watch the sunset..."
