There are a lot of little things I think you take for granted about living in the city/suburbs that you're going to hate if you go rural. For example, think of how annoying it is when you can't find something you want at the store (especially a grocery), but even then you have like five other stores in a small radius you can check out. In a rural area you might not even have a major grocery nearby, or any other kind of big box stores. I know it's easy to hate on big boxes but they're kinda necessary to get a lot of things now.

If you're really good at planning ahead then yeah, you can get a lot of stuff online, and just plan for fewer but larger trips to the grocery, but I like having the option to zip over to a store if I want something right away. Like, you don't gain any conveniences in that regard by living rural, you can still do 80% of your shopping online in the city too. And there are only so many foods that keep well in a fridge/freezer, a lot of produce is out of the question.
