Dude. Have lost your mind? I believe you make $50/hr waiting and bring home 100k like I believe my grandpa has tits. You're literally just making shit up.
After taxes $20/hr is ~13/hr. Where the fuck are you going to live bringing home $26k a year? Bullshit.
If the minimum wage had kept up with inflation and cola, it would be $27/hr.
I was making more at age 12 in 1973 when the minimum wage was $2.75/hr than I was making at my last "good" job.

I’ll keep it in mind. Currently I’m a first class pipe/steam fitter with brazing certs

It's really pointless for people to make all these threads without giving a price range that they can afford.

Your plan is going to at best result in a huge bill for towing and could kill you. Dumb.

20 an hour is pretty much worthless anywhere.

If a company exists because it shafts its workers, CAPITALISM says it need to go out of business.

Might take you a few years to get back to that, depending on what your experience and skill set is. Most skilled trade work around here starts around 20-25/hr as far as I’ve seen.

Yeah, Minimum wage should go back to $.25. That's what people get for not being born rich and adhering to prosperity gospel.
What the hell is wrong with you? Are you rich? Or a poor republican happy to lick your boss's boots for pennies? DO you not realize that the more money the working class has, the richer EVERYONE will be, including the richies? Do you remember the '50s?
Minimum wage was supposed to proved a dignified living, minimal, but dignified FOR ONE WORKING PERSON WITH A FAMILY; had it kept pace with COLA and inflation, it would be TWENTY-SEVEN DOLLARS AN HOUR, now. And the funny thing is, even THAT is marginal for a single-income household. Decent place to live, functional car, health care for a family? $27/hr doesn't cut it.
I was making more when I was 12 years old in 1973 when the minimum wage was $2.75, than I did at my last "good" job.
You. People. Are. Insane.

Are you an artist with an existing customer base that will be doing sales online? Local sales will be a struggle to support you otherwise, plus you’ll be moving into a state and taking business away from the natives so I wouldn’t expect a ton of open arms.

No storage issues whatsoever. I keep spare barbecue tanks in the shed at all times. That’s a great plan. It might also be worthwhile to chain the generator to something solid nearby while in use. During extended power outages generators are desirable acquisitions and they’re outside running unattended.

Yeah, 6:12 PM tonight. You can put your location in at https://findstarlink.com/ and see if it says the right direction in the sky.

Everyone is struggling to house their population. I’m not going to be a tax on any jobs or services. I am totally self sustaining, want to add to the culture, help in any way at that I’m welcome and know how to respect the land and the people of Vermont.

I suggest New York State or elsewhere. Vermont is already struggling to employ and house its current population.
