Buy a small farmstead in an area where others that have jumped the tech/corporate/finance ship too, people that are likely to have some cash saved up as a buffer.
Keep a few animals (cats and/or dogs mandatory, otherwise optional), maintain an orchard with fruit trees, specialize on one or two niche cash crops that can be sold. Be largely self-sufficient within the community (think barter and "barnraising" [0]).
Combine with some forestry and DIY low tech; like solar- wind- dam- projects. Enjoy!

- greenie_beans 4y agoi'm curious what ways you're combining forestry and tech?
- stareatgoats 4y ago"Combine with" as in "throw some forestry and DIY tech into the mix". I focused on OPs "I'm done" sentiment, and imagined something completely different, for someone ready to drop out of tech altogether. Something I could imagine doing myself at some point. Of course, for people not wanting to drop out completely this setup might be combined with some small part remote tech work on the side too.
- greenie_beans 4y agoyeah i get it. i have access to some forest land + tech skills and have wanted to do this, but haven't found or envisioned any projects. i'm not a forester so i don't have domain knowledge. the most i can think of is a weather station or a trail camera. also found a github repo that can determine a site's basal area but not sure how to use that info since i'm not a forester.
