    Hey all.

    Been here for quite a while and have read a few of the books now, but I’m struggling.

    I’m in the UK, a single parent, and earn an “okay” wage, but nowhere near enough to have my own land. I have a backyard, no soil, but pots I use for growing food. I’ve signed up to go on the waiting list for several allotments – could be years.

    I just don’t see a point where I’ll have my own land to truly live in the way I want. Anyone else in a similar situation?

    Hi James, I feel in a similar way, I am in Spain and I don’t see how can I get my peace of land with the income I have. The only way I see it ,is to do it with others but seems hard to coordinate with people from different countries.

    I wold not say feeling like a fraud, I would say frustration.
