I have never been jealous of material stuff, which makes it overly unusual for me to have a pang of jealousy when I see someone with a range of some type on thier property. LUCKY.
Don't be jealous, some of us waited a long time to get there. If you are young, I can offer advice. Get debt free as soon as you can, buy property as soon as you can. It helps if your better half is on the same page.I have never been jealous of material stuff, which makes it overly unusual for me to have a pang of jealousy when I see someone with a range of some type on thier property.

Lucky? Yes, lucky enough to have been born in the US. I freely admit that fact, one for which I am eternally grateful and will always be.LUCKY.
Lucky, or blessed? You decide.

Meanwhile, my ancestors were lucky to have survived. They had family and friends who did not, dying of starvation, deprivation, rape and murder. Yes my ancestors were lucky. They immigrated to the US (immigration means legally btw) because there was no place else to go.
Lucky. Well, the first house I bought was a condo. I owned up to the thickness of paint on the walls. It cost me about as much as a nice car does today. I kept it up for a number of years and made a tidy sum of money on it. Shooting not an option unless it was rubber bands.
Next house was the dinkiest most pathetic one in a nice neighborhood. Shooting still not an option. Fixed it up and sold after a few years for a lot more money.
Next house was a little bigger. Three acres of land. Enough for a little pool and topless sunbathing, still not so good for shooting. Fixed it up and sold for even more.
Present house is a lot bigger on many acres surrounded by many more. Set up my own trap and handgun range and now I shoot whatever I want whenever I want. Mortgage to be fully paid off the end of this year. Life is good.
Lucky? It's taken me over forty years, all of them living rather frugally, driving ten, fifteen year old cars and eating store brand food. With a forced career change and children along the way there were times I couldn't even afford that much. I survived on food others threw away, so my wife and baby could eat. Nobody ever gave me a doggone thing. I still don't have cable TV.
Lucky, or blessed? You decide.
Amen, it's how I did it. Plan for it, make it a goal.Don't be jealous, some of us waited a long time to get there. If you are young, I can offer advice. Get debt free as soon as you can, buy property as soon as you can. It helps if your better half is on the same page.
I say your blessed.
I can’t shoot at my house. It’s on 1.3 acres but in a neighborhood.
