Couldn't have said it any better myself. When my wife and I had the opportunity to purchase the family farm from my grandmother, we jumped. It has been in the family since 1895 when family arrived from Sweeden. 20 Acres of the original 160 had been sold off, but we were able to buy another 80 acres just across the road from us. So we have 220 acres to play on. Buildings are in much need of repair, spent two years on the house, and just started on the old barn that was built in 1910 this week. Thankfully it is in better shape than I was thinkling. Lots of work, but it is do able. This farm WILL stay in the family as long as I am alive. I don't care what it is worth, it WON'T be for sale at any price. I grew up in a family with very little money, learned to worked hard, and that is good enough for me. I can't take the money with when I leave anyway. Besides, where I am going that money won't even compare to true "riches".
