I own this land, this house. It's a family thing.
Single man don't need a bunch of stuff.
Nice thing about having a place that no-one wants is that property taxes are cheap.
I don't pull in government funds, but I can get by really well with $500USD/month. I've done it with much less, and it sucked.

The nice thing about growing up in the north is the fact that I’m cold tolerant and when the going gets rough, everyone else heads south and leaves me the hell alone.
Property Taxes in Houston is around 3% of value. Amazing just for the property taxes you can live for a year somewhere in Texas.
