The downsides to rural areas are no snow removal during storms. They don't plow until it's over. No trash service. You have to buy a permit from a dump and drive your own trash there if you can't burn it. Slower emergency responses. There's also a lot of thefts due to opiate addicts.

My inheritance is basically some land in the old family homestead, which is a rural area in Appalachia. No money or jewels or stocks, just some old family land, just a few acres with a creek.

When my parents pass on I plan on building a cabin there and living like a king. I'm very familiar with rural living. I have NO IDEA why people here are bashing it. It's quiet. No "MAGAs" yelling at you because you won't see them. They live a half mile down the road. Yes, you have to burn your trash probably, and mow you own grass and shovel your own snow. You'll probably want a truck because you'll need to haul trash you can't burn to the county landfill, which might be 20 miles away.

Sounds like paradise to me.
