I'm sorry but I don't believe that, unless you have some specific personal circumstances such as very high debt or something.
If you're ready to go near any kind of town, it is absolutely possible to find 1 acre on a lower-paid SE salary.

And the one company that hires any software people at all has 1 opening every 2 decades. They often don't know how to get word to software people who might be interested so you are unlikely to find out about that opening. Some place in the country it exists though.

First, this was not mentioned as a prerequisite in his post, but fair. Second, software engineer is the job that can be done from anywhere, if your priority is to find 1+ acre of land then maybe you can put up with working remotely. And finally, there are still plenty of towns, with jobs where buying 1 acre of land is completely possible.
- ndiscussion 6y agoYeah, my goal is ultimately to work remotely to fund something like this. I don't even care about being 30 minutes from the nearest store... I am good at stockpiling and cooking my own stuff.
