So my fiance and I are looking to escape the city and go somewhere more green.  Big surprise there, right?  We're thinking New Hampshire or Vermont for the moment.

Im a nursing attendant and my fiancee is a nurse with a good amount of school loans, so we basically make same amount.

We don't drive.  No building experience.  Since December, we started seriously saving for land (about 2-3 acres max since I personally think that's plenty) and moving and have between us a little more than $2K in savings but squirreling as much as we can every paycheck.

I'm considering owner financing at some point but this is after I do all of the research that I can and looking at my options as to not jump into anything foolish.

Does anyone have any experience and advice for making this work despite being broke newbies in the game, especially in probably one of the worst times to make moves like this?

Thank you in advance.  

And call me Snake.

Hey.  I'm Chris and as far as I could remember I've always wanted to get the hell out of the city, live closer to nature and do something waaaay different than what I'm witnessing in the inner city.

Foraging, owning land and being simple yet practical is seen as odd and 'too difficult' around here and waved off as a pipe dream for the lotto winners.

It only occured way later in life that these things are attainable with enough brains and education.  Got into foraging, sustainable living, and primitive technology a couple of years back with my fiancee.

Now I'm here to network and learn way more.  So bless this site, and thank you guys in advance.
