Its only a mistake if you really hate it but stick with it. Otherwise, you learned some things, perhaps in an expensive and difficult way; and now you can go do different things and learn from them. NFI about "homesteading" but I've lived out in the woods for a very long time, which has had tradeoffs and difficulties. For me "city life" was like wearing an inside out pincushion suit the whole time; irritations everywhere that never went away. Out here I can calm down and pay attention to things and be something other than a hyper-reactive rage monster all the time. That's worth more than any of the inducements available in other lifestyles, to me.
