So I finally started working construction, with the specific goal in mind being to learn enough and save enough to be able to build my own house from scratch eventually. The boss has built multimillion dollar homes, houses for celebrities, mansions upon mansions. He's been doing this for 40 years, so I'm going to assume he knows what he's talking about. According to him, even something as simple as a 300sqft cabin could cost upwards of 100k nowadays, even if you do as much labor as possible yourself.I've never even held a job for more than a month. I can barely manage to shower most days. I'm functionally retarded. I sure as hell don't want to be homeless again. It's hard work, but I'm truly fascinated with construction. I think I can hold out for a year or two. But there's no way in hell I'll ever manage to scrounge up 100k.Who says you can't own a two story house in your 20s? Come get your Tuff Shed for 20 grand! I'm thinking if I put it in the middle of nowhere, maybe someplace like Arkansas, glowies won't care enough to come and tell me where I can and can't live. Hell, I don't even need plumbing. As long as it doesn't collapse on me in my sleep, I'm good. Am I retarded or is "escaping the system" actually this easy?

Just figure out what you want to build and have ai do a materal take off and cost analysis. Boom now you know how much it will cost

>>2966583>even something as simple as a 300sqft cabin could cost upwards of 100k nowadayslike the other anon implied, your boss is an out of touch jew.You could build a 300sqft cabin out of nice materials and still not hit $25,000
he probably means legally/insurable
