If you have 10,000$ you can start a hole new life for yourself leaving all liabilities and obligations behind and live your life the way you've always wanted to.
You can either buy a camper van for $10,000, or a boat or a piece of land in alaska or somewhere else.
Here's my Boating lifestyle link.
Here's my RVing lifestyle link.
If you bought a piece of land in Alaska then you could build a house for free from logs and then grow or pick food for free and fish and hunt for free and store food for the winter in the natural outside refrigerator, and smoke them in the summer. But there are almost no rules in Alaska and the land is cheap, and you can go on all the nature walks you want, and you get paid to own the land each year by the permanent distribution fund. The only problem with owning property is that you have to pay taxes and you may have to pay a mortgage for 30 years if you're stupid enough to get that big of a loan which you'll never pay off. Also it may get very boring after a while of staying on the same property forever and not going to work or doing anything for fun outside of your property.
The positive side of buying a peice of land and living on it is that it is the correct financial decision. Lets say you were to buy it for 10,000$ and live in a mobile home or a van or even a car for a year. You would be saving 500$ a month on rent payments which at the end of the year is 60% return on investment of 10,000$, assuming you have a job. If I buy a 10,000$ piece of land in Florida the first thing I would do after buying it would be to install free water, free food, and free electricity. After that you could live indefinitely.
Free water: Dig a storm water retention pond the same way they do at every walmart. all it is is a topological low point that had been dug out of the earth and which water naturally flows into being the lowest point around. The nice added benefit of this is that somehow fish appear after a short period of time in these places. Don't ask me how(maybe birds bring them). These manmade ponds are filled with water year round which is interesting why the utilities don't use this principle when supplying the water to the city. Why is there always a drought supposedly when this is easy enough to do? Are they really smart or really stupid? Maybe I missed something.
Free food: Most plants grow themselves, so just capitalize on this fact. Have tomatoes hanging from a fence so there is no weeding needed but need watering. Onions grow like grass. strawberries also grow like weeds but need watering. potatoe plants are easy once they're started just cut into pieces with the eyes facing upward in the ground. And to water these plants have a drip irrigation system with water pressure supplied by water pumped from the man made pond. (I have a new invention with no moving parts that uses aerodynamic pumping using the chimney effect)
Free elec: Solar panels payed by the money saved on not paying rent.
But if you want to get rich, another of my plans was to become rich by becoming an electrician and then moving to Alaska and buying all the land I wanted and doing with that land whatever I wanted, and having plenty of money left over every month to live the good life. That's only as long as you have no kids and no huge mortgage though. The best land to buy would be an island because it's not landlocked(you can get to it on boat, and therefor not in the middle of nowhere). For more on this go to the how to make your own country post.
It's always good to live outside the system and not under other peoples rules or competing with others that are all doing the same thing. Namely all the throngs that go to school, work for most of their waking lives, buy a house and have kids, and live in the city, and pay taxes and are generally poor and c average education.

Go RVing
Or how to go on camper trips. I myself would buy a nice traveling van for $10,000, and sleep in Walmart parking lots at night(See:Freeparkingovernight.com), or at truck stops(See:Truckstopinfoplus.com), or rest stops, or at campsites on other nights. So 15$/night is 450$/month in lodging(go to priceline.com). You can take showers at campsites or hotels, or truck stops, and wash clothes at a laundromat at truck stops or in town, or with a plunger and bucket filled with either reusable alcohol(redistill it) or soapy water. When it's cold just turn on the car heater, or travel south for the winter like the birds do. And when you're bored just turn on a your wireless mobile broadband internet card connected laptop, or show up at an internet hotspot like subway for free wifi access(See AT&T wifi hotspots in yellowpages.com), or have an Iphone or android phone with wifi internet, which probably have a built in wifi reception indicator. For any mail you may need a P.O.Box. and pay bills over the internet. Also I want to get a storage shed for toys that will use once in a while like a bike or a kayak, or anything else that you want to bring along for a trip. But when move to another state just put all of your stuff in a new storage shed. But it would be better if all that stuff was with you all the time and you had a full sized RV.
All you need is enough money per month to pay for the following:
Go to you pick farms for cheap food, go restaurantouring, go to casinos if you have tons of money to blow, go to concert tours, go to national parks, go to tourist attractions, go to all of the amusement parks and try every ride in the nation, go to car shows, go to fancy locations like NY or LA or Vegas, go hiking around the country, go fishing and catch salmon during spawning season, go on bike rides on all the different bike trails around the US. Find a piece of land or apartment for cheap in the friendliest town in the US(Anchorage?) and finally settle down and build a home out of stone or wood and garden there, building net worth off of sweat equity alone.

Living on a Boat to Limit Liabilities, and Obligations
You can buy a good used cabin cruiser for under $5,000 on craigslist.com. It's good to buy a boat that is broken in and cheaper and has add on's because it's used.
I may buy one when I save up that much and live for free on the water instead of living the high liability lifestyle of the city of owning a house and having kids. Besides, when you have a big mortgage and taxes and kids and a car then no matter how good a job you have, you'll never again have time or money. And therefor you'll never again have fun.
If you can save $500 a month while still living this lifestyle, then you are pretty much retired and can become rich by just saving up money, while still being a vagabond.
Here are some reasons for you to mull over about owning a boat.
In the heat you don't want to burn gas for air conditioning so instead just enjoy the weather and also in the rain and cold just go inside the cabin. Get at least a 32 ft. boat. But smaller boat require less gas. insurance from "boat US" or "state farm". clean the bottom of boat once a year in salt water. get a parking space for driving to work. Good marinas are full service and can work on your engine and paint and clean. maintenance costs should be 10% of the value of the boat per year.
Initial costs:
The above info gotten from living aboard a boat on youtube.
When starting out I might just have a boat dock and slowly separate myself from the comforts of the city. First find out how to dock at ports that you've not been to before, and also how to dock for free to go grocery shopping.
This idea, and my cave house fort idea, are my favorite ideas right now.

Here are some reasons for you to mull over about owning a boat.
- In general insurance for a boat is half that of a car's insurance. (half of 60$)
- A house on the water has no property tax like land based houses do.
- In international waters there are no laws such as open alcohol containers or fire arms or sales/income/property taxes.
- It's free to anchor on a public island and stay as long as you want, also there are innumerable flood prone islands that are uninhabitable during parts of the year or during storms, these you can inhabit whenever they are not flooded and there are no storms forecasted.
- In the Bahamas there is a 100 square mile area of water that is just as deep as a backyard swimming pool, and it's warm in the summer!
- Free fish, and crab in Florida and Alaska!
- Free coconuts, on certain Florida keys and the rest of the Bahamas.
- Wind can be used instead of gas and is a backup plan in case your engine dies. And can also be used most of the time in order to not pay for gas.
- You can have GPS and a satellite weather forecaster to avoid storms when they aproach and to find islands. Actual cruise ship captains use this trick to change course to have fun at a different port that is not currently having a storm.
- You can always go to port to shop once a week to get necessities.
- You can just go to the bathroom over the side of the boat.
- The silence is pleasant
- No utility bills, other than gas
- The only thing requiring maintenance is the motor
- You can bury treasure
- It beats living outside of a car. You can't park anywhere but you can anchor anywhere.
- You can build forts in remote places
