yes, many people are spoiled those days, I experienced already 3 financial crisis, 2 times standing in almost atomic war, I met people from WW1 and WW2. People who met Hitler, German war pilots. Those people were never complaining and were very modest. Now everybody wants 3 holidays per year, big house, big cars and so on. This throw away society can not last, nature will bite back
I think you just described the predicament of over 90 percent of people worldwide. Very Bruce Springsteen'esque in a way. But on a more positive note, adaptation is a good word, which I've also been thinking about lately. I've noticed that I've had some thought patterns for quite a long time now, which have been holding me back, and it has been helpful to realise that it's easier to let go of those thoughts than to wait for the world around me to change to a more desirable direction.
You are completely right mate, everyone of us is going through an upheaval at the moment and adapting to it is all we can do. Like I said, I have a good life and wouldn't want to move to be honest but there comes a time when we have to put our so called dreams on the backburner or pivot in a different direction.
Welcome to central and western europe. Land is expensive here. Buying 10 acres and going off-grid is not feasible here. Portugal and poor parts of Italy are sort of kind of viable but not really. Would would get much more for your money in USA :-/ which sucks because I would also like a plot a land here (not just just a house and small garden)
Hey im going through exactly what your going through right now. I think your living part of your dream you just got to build the rest. It's better then most ppl. Most ppl don't go after their dreams..I think you never give up, you just take little steps to try get there each day. If you get there great if you don't who cares you gave it go
Liptov is pretty pricy, you might check agricultural land in a "less" developed parts of the coutry. But still, farming is pretty hard without subsidies etc.
Thank you for your videos! We discovered (I mean my husband did) your channel just recently when we're at a spot contemplating what to do next? Stay where we are, or move somewhere else? I'm gonna read through the comments here because my dh said there were some interesting ones! Before reading them, I'm curious though where are you currently at? Did you choose option #3? Thanks, Marta
I think I know exactly what you're feeling right now. Now it's the best time to sell properties but the worst time to buy them. The prices now in SVK are similar to the prices in the US and the interest rates are jumping up like crazy. But as the global things are developing I'd rather stay put with my earnings under the pillow. I've learned to be patient. Good things come to you in the right time. Keep up mate!
did you consider moving to a different part of Slovakia? If you look in villages down in south-east Slovakia - like for example around Trebisov, you might be able to find something more affordable - and there is a lot of agricultural land over there too - more than in Liptov
Hey Jono. Everyone is going through this during Covid and post Covid. Everyone is questioning goals or pivoting. I don't know what interest rates are in Slovakia, but they may still be low and you don't have to decide today. Italy is definitely another option but you don't have to pressure yourself now. I think you are being very hard on yourself. Just because you lost a business during the pandemic doesn't mean you may not own one again. I also owned a business but I closed it to pivot and I'm still figuring that out too. Chin up Jono Rome wasn't built in a day and we still have decades of growing learning and working towards our dreams. I'm in my mid 40's and I have the same type of dream as you. We're both going to get there!
Cheers bud, I do think the whole losing my business thing has affected me more than I'd like to admit. I just don't want to let my kids down, or my wife for that matter. Like you say, time will heal old wounds and I still have time to achieve what I wanted to.
Talking about the future and your kids, Slovakia is not that bad as everybady says. What is the most important I think is, that your kids still can have here free university study. You don't need to pay anything for you kids attending an university. (You have to pay only for food and accommodation.) And this is not very common thing in the world. OK, maybe in Europe there are more countries with the similar or even better education system. But still. It is here too. And after university, they can roam the world. :D Just look at the bright side... :) BTW. ...fog and the bear with cubs nearby... I would shit myself! :D
Lol, I was way out in the middle of the field and didn't stray far from the car, I was very nervous though as the fog made it quite spooky. And I agree about my children, they are in the best place they can be, and so are we.
The fog has been interesting. All day it feels like early morning here for the past week. Don't give up on your dreams Jono, yes it may be very difficult, but try to consider where else you might be able to move to, or keep doing what you're doing, inproving your business, and growing your channel. Slovakia is pricier than I would've hoped for, but it has been great to live here as well. I just want to say don't give up on your dreams, but still try to be happy/content with your current position in life, while also trying to improve your situation in the long run. Keep posting videos. We enjoy watching them, and props to improved intros & editing 👍
Well..i had do give up on my dreams due to circumstances and i tell you what, its ok..perfectly ok..at least I dont feel any pressure on my shoulders anymore. As much as I wanted my dreams become a true..as much I dont give a fcuk anymore. And I quite like it tbh hahaha
€125k for 2 bed flat in Martin the property market is so over heated in Slovakia it's unbelievable. But as long as banks are lending to everyone the prices will go up. if somebody told you this 10 years ago you would send him for brain scan 🤯
Nothing lasts forever. Just wait when the bubble bursts. Property market is all about boom and bust. The big problem in Slovakia at the moment is that there is under supply of the property market. That’s way the prices going out of the roof. The government should do something about this too.
Sometimes staying as we are, is the best option to "move forward" or to have the "better" life. If you ever wanna check out Bulgaria- I'd love to help as much as I can. There are great areas here, even though prices, as all over the world, are going up. I know a lot of foreigners who choose to come live here, especially in Bansko, cause there are so many expats here, but yeah- life is getting harder everywhere... Just keep doing you, with your channel, and your dream.
A friend of mine in the UK actually has a house in Bulgaria, not sure where though, and he loves it. I think we will stay where we are and I'll put the work in to build our future, moving the kids again wouldn't be fair as they are settled and love it here so much.
life never goes to plan buddy...that's just, well, life. We navigate the way ahead as best as we can with our myopic life experiences. My kiwi mate here near Levoča has established a economic and ecological small holding model that may be of interest to you....
Yeah I know mate, just sometimes I feel like abit of a failure, sounds silly but it's true. I will definitely head over at some point, we've had so many issues with the car lately that I don't really trust the thing to get us there. Haha
as you know myself and my Slovak wife have wanted to move to Slovakia since before covid started but what has happened the property market since is crazy overpriced everything land,houses,etc. No matter what part of the country. The prices of property does not match peoples income. It was always our dream to come and let ve in Slovakia but now its just unrealistic so were considering spain as property in certain areas are cheaper. its all quite distressing because ive been traveling 2/3 time a year to Slovakia to see the inlaws for the past 20 years and now i can see how my wifes family and friends are struggling to survive because of the elites of this world.anyway sorry for venting
I know exactly what you mean and we are very blessed to own our house. Have you looked at Portugal at all? property prices are still pretty reasonable.
I have very reasonable if you live outside the touristy/city areas in the country is a lot cheaper than Slovakia (I Cant believe im even saying that) Wish you the best on your future and ill keep ya posted if i make any drastic changes and move from Ireland
Well, in my opinion you might consider moving to a different part of Slovakia if farming is your dream(and you want to do it now). Liptov is... well... quite pricey for slovak standards. And "touristey" too(which adds to the problem). It iwould be better to look for a house with some land in the less populated parts of the country. Places like the southern half of Bansobystrický kraj(districts like Rimavská Sobota, Veľký Krtíš, Krupina, Poltár etc.) or northeastern part of Prešovský kraj(Medzilaborce, Snina and so on). Here it is far easier to find what you are looking for... and for a better price. The second option would be to just sit and wait. Bide your time. ...After all, everything has an end... and this s**** property bubble in no exception. Just wait it out. In the meantime you can save some money and make plans for the future. But for the love of God, don´t sell your house! Not in these troubled times. You never know what life might throw your way after all. It might be something really nasty... In such circumstances a roof above your head(especially if it´s debt free) can be a life saver.
Yes mate keep what you have and enjoy life as it goes, ..we just bought a piece of land in presovky region, soon we will start developing and once we are done, we are moving from Germany to Slovakia, Hang in there Brother!
It doesn't matter where or what country you go in Europe prices are going crazy everywhere, EU have to fall down and start again from basics there is no other option,People from Brussel controls whole europe and they live in the bubble.
@@JonoGraham It will take time propably we won't be here on this world but we have to keep ours dreams on,I live in Ireland and its even worse here with those prizes here are insane.
As an Italian who lived in Slovakia, do not EVER consider Italy. The government would tax you to death and force social contributions out of you making it impossible to live. The living costs are out of control. Not to mention that everything is over-regulated, you can't even build a tree house on YOUR land without a building permit from the council. They are flooded with immigration, high unemployment, and low birth rates AKA no future. Just look for a property with less land, you don't need a ranch with acres and acres to be off the grid.
With all the respect to your dilemma, imagine you'd be stuck like this by mistake in London?!🤣🤣🤣 I know exactly how difficult it can be if things don't go your direction, I too kindly adjust to my exes and because of "settled kids" I live where I never wanted to live and certainly didn't want for my kids, but have no means to change the situation. Its life so just make the most of the situation. Count your marbles my dear, count your marbles
Like I say, it's a good life and I know people have it worse than we do by a long way. My children are happy, my wife is happy and that makes me happy so I am content. I will carry on doing what I'm doing and maybe one day in the future I will be able to get abit of land, if not, I am fine with that aswell.
Rly? Hundreds of thusands? That doesnt seem right. If you only want farm you dont need the whole thing to be "building estate" you can buy "grass land" or "arrable land" that costs like 5€-10€/m2 and then just convert the part you want to build a house on to "building estate". Its gonna take a lot of paperwork to do that but it will not be as expensive as buying 10km2 of building estate.
I started as accountant, problems is that children do not learn to handle money at school. I was never rich, but I had/have some nice villas, cars, motorcycles, holidays and luxury. First, never take a big mortgage, do not work for the bank, buy an old house and rebuild it, never buy a new car. Always have savings on your account, manage your money good. To go to Portugal or Spain is nice, but to find a job there is very difficult. (Countries have 25% unemployment) And houses are also not cheap. I think everybody has those dreams, everybody thinks the grass is greener on the other side. However, if there would be a nuclear war, South Africa would be the safest place on earth☢☢☢☢☢☢☢☢💨💨💨💨🚀🚀
The problem is, you can´t just buy an old house in Slovakia. Especailly in western part. The cheapest old houses here would cost you about 150 000€ in western Slovakia, which average Slovak earns in about 20 years. And I am writing about houses that need expensive reconstruction. Even 1-room flats are about 90 000€. Yeah, you can buy a house in some cheaper parts, but there is not enough work there, especially for educated people.
@@mionellessi3086 fully agree with you, the prices are insane in SK compare the earnings! When I compare it with Belgium its almost the same house prices, only you earn minimum 2000 E per month. 5 years ago a flat was 30000 Euro now 80000 Euro. For young people its much too expensive. I reconstructed my house on time because building materials prices are just crazy
Yeah, everything is crazy our house needs so much work doing to it but the prices of building materials are insane. I have no idea if they will ever go down in price, I doubt ut
I disagree with the last sentence of your comment. If there were an all-out nuclear war, New Zealand would probably be the only habitable place on the planet Earth. The rest would be finished, including SA.
@@mionellessi3086 I do not understand why everyone wants to live in the west when the best property deals are in the east and the south. I've been living in Bratislava for several decades and even though I am Slovak, I hate it. I wasn't born there and I still feel foreign to that city. In the north, especially the touristy areas, the property prices are generally higher. Some mountain resorts can be even more expensive than Bratislava is. Bratislava is expensive because of the jobs there. County capitals are little less expensive. But the south and the east are cheap as hell, especially the villages. And these regions are also good for farming.

Doug, thank you so much for this comment. You ae right 100%, I will keep my head down and do what I have to, to make it happen!

Those people were never complaining and were very modest. Now everybody wants 3 holidays per year, big house, big cars and so on. This throw away society can not last, nature will bite back
Slovakia has approximately 80.000 - 100.000 jobs available I read just a few days ago..the most important thing is to learn the language well.

In the north, especially the touristy areas, the property prices are generally higher. Some mountain resorts can be even more expensive than Bratislava is. Bratislava is expensive because of the jobs there. County capitals are little less expensive. But the south and the east are cheap as hell, especially the villages. And these regions are also good for farming.
