A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

In my area it will buy you a family home, but not a particularly special one.
But with a million bucks you wouldn't really be bound by location anymore. You could just retire somwhere that is cheaper and without the need to work most of your waking time you aren't even really limited by language as you have plenty of time to learn a new language.
In my area the first 500k would buy you at least 150 acres, the 100k would buy a tractor to clear out enough woods for a house, put in a well, run power lines and septic. 200k would buy you the materials for any house you could imagine. 8 bedrooms 8 baths? Sure. A duplex with a workshop? Hell yeah. One ground floor and 3 sub-basement levels? Now we're talking.
The last 300k would buy you a business in the local town for some income.
