At this point in my life, my fantasy is to buy some land (at least a couple hundred acres with some water on it), and have old but reliable vehicles I can work on in my barn (I was born in and have spent most of my life in cities).
Great defense against the inevitable EMP attack.

Stop dreaming and do it!
Just go! The farther the better!
Rural life rocks.
Unless you are raising cows or horses you don’t need water on it. That is what a well is for.
