My BIL and my sister are both teachers. Not a lot of income but they have summers off and every holiday known to man along with a week vacation time in the fall and spring. He bought his farm when they got married and never saw a dime of "income" from it for decades. Pretty much everything the farm made got rolled back into the farm (and then some) while they lived off their salaries (if the farm didn't eat into it). He ran old equipment and drove 10 year old cars and pickups and worked late into the night and went to work tired for years. His kids all went to college and played sports and worked the farm with him. He retired this year with about 500 acres paid for and his teachers pension and SS coming in 5 years and he's going to farm full time for the first time in his life. Basically he's a millionaire (and then some (maybe a lot of some)).
My dad loaned him a few peices of equipment for a day or two at a time and his dad gave him an old worn out Allis C when he bought the farm (I never saw that tractor used once) - everything else he got on his own.
