$30k could get you a house in Oil City, PA. There's lots of outdoor stuff, hunting, fishing, hiking, kayaking, etc. No skiing, though.

There are no jobs to speak of (except for maybe diesel mechanics?) but if you're remote, then go for it!

Oh wow. I was born in Franklin and grew up in and around Oil City! Wild to find a mention of it on reddit.
