The article kindly submitted here reports: "More than two decades ago, then-33-year-old Dan Price had a wife, two small children, a high-interest mortgage, and a stressful job as a photojournalist in Kentucky. He worried daily about money and the workaday grind."

Then the article follows up on what Price thinks about his life after he read the book Payne Hollow and his marriage broke up. "'I like being able to do what I want to do,' said Price, who pays $100 a year for his land. 'I don’t believe in houses or mortgages. Who in their right mind would spend their lifetime paying for a building they never get to spend time in because they are always working?'"

So my question about that is, does he believe in a father supporting his young children growing up? I sure do. I can think of a lot of lifestyle adjustments I might make to simplify my life if I had no minor children, but while my children are young, I'm very well going to live with them and participate in supporting them financially. After all, I had the choice at the beginning about whether or not to have children, but my children had no choice about whether they were born to a dad who steps up or a dad who checks out and forgets about them.

We don't know the situation, but, if the entire family moved to Oregon, and, he sold his 6 bedroom house in KY, there may have been a decent amount of equity transferred into either a new house, or, turned into cash; so for all we know, he let her have the mostly-paid-off house and walked away.

Remember, he doesn't tell you what he makes a year, just what he needs to make to survive.
