I don't think you can justify paying rent for a building you won't even be living at. (To make even more money, try to talk your (soon to be ex-) landlord into letting you manage the cabin to find daily / weekly renters. You make money, the landlord makes money, and you may even still be able to garden at the cabin.

You are young and nothing holding you back from doing this. Save and invest your money NOW so you have cash in the future to do what you want!
Thats about what i was going to say , but i do belive you were one who said the cabin didn't have a toilet that mey be a hold up in renting it to others.

but if you have a safe place to store your stuff thats either portable like a trialer or you have only a little good stuff like what you could move in your car or carry, jump with both feet save every dime you can as long as if it didn't work you would be able to find winter shelter by next fall

life takes us on twists i somtimes wish i had taken more of them off the beaten path but basically if you can have a 1000-1500 dollars or so put away to move if you need to go for it or a good place to go if you need then why not take the oppertunity.

just remember always try not to burn bridges.

i also often wonder why i kept moving furniture i should have gotten 3 folding tables and traveled lighter thru my moving days
