One of my best friends lives this lifestyle in Bozeman. Floats the river in his boat, hunts, plays golf. Sometimes works, always broke. The women in Bozeman are meh. The winters are brutal, but the summers make up for it.

No way you can pull it off. Almost anyone else, sure. But you strike me as quite the yuppie softie.

If anything ever happens to my wife and daughter, I'll become a hermit in the mountains. There is no doubt.
Until then, my future retirement location will probably have to be some place much sunnier, and close to wherever my daughter chooses to live.

Maybe work a menial job like ranching or helping with a farm on the side. Something easy and flexible to pass the time
I've never thought of farming or ranching as particularly easy or flexible.

Well let me put it this way. It's hard labor for sure, but there's no pressure. I would have money stashed away already so it's not like my survival is dependant on it. It's just something to stem the tide of cash drain and to pass the time. It's low stress work and I can quit at any time. Go several days/weeks while looking for other work.
And those were just examples. There tons of other things that can be done as well...hell, working at a bar, restaurant, etc.

If you have your own livestock, you think you would have enough time to work someone elses?
And from the original post, it seemed like you wanted to be self sufficient, which would mean you really wouldn't need a job, especially with your $1 mil.

Chickens dude. And maybe a dairy cow.

I am just messing with you. I just see living up there as a hard life, and you would be committing yourself to more work than you ever dreamed, with less flexibility.

chickens, pigs, cow, maybe some goats
and then the garden, which require plenty of work

Built a pipeline up there many years ago. Cool place to live. Great elk and deer hunting, even got some White-tails. There are ducks. Learn to fly fish and the golf is decent. I love the Summers and at altitude, you can train and come back to sea level and have a ton of endurance.
Winters suck and the women are hideous for the most part are the key drawbacks.

And there's no Perlis in Montana. What will you do when you need a Southern Tide shirt immediately?

Not if you're into skiing/boarding/mountaineering.

I love this idea. But it's for sure Jackson Hole, WY for me. Most breathtaking place I have ever been. And I've only been there to ski in February, can't even imagine what spring is like. I stare at images like this on my desktop all day.
Although, JH, WY will require much more than $1M for the dream. But it will be the first place I buy property when my powerball ticket hits...

Jackson Hole isn't really a place to live a "minimalist" life Posted on 9/26/13 at 9:02 am to Salmon
I know. If it were even reasonable I'd be there now.Posted on 9/26/13 at 9:07 am to DirtyMikeandtheBoys
Friend of the family owns a hotel in Jackson I keep asking if I could be a bartender not much turnover I couldn't afford to live in Jackson but Bozeman is doable for the time being but it's getting more expensive
