I do to, but I also need electricity and internet access as well. Once a month go a max of 2 hours out to get food and I'll be all set. Though I would miss fast food, but i would be forced to learn to cook.

I'd argue that the outdoor opportunities are much better, there are tons of parks you can visit and if you want to get away from people more then it isn't that far of a drive. If you want to go somewhere with ZERO people or shoot guns from your backyard then yeah you're SOL but there are going to be things you can do in one place and not the other. Nowhere has everything, but the city generally has much more, even if it sometimes costs money. I live within my means anyway so it really doesn't matter to me, what am I getting out of saving more? I'd rather enjoy life now in my relative physical prime than think about maximizing how I'm going to live when I'm like 70.

If you prefer the country life anyway more power to you but I think people should avoid the trappings of idealizing it cause many of them might well find it's not all it's cracked up to be.

I have 1 million acres of wilderness, mountains, rivers and trails and I don't have to do anything but open my door... lol. We have different ideas of outdoors

But that's my point. City living costs more money, I'm not saying either is better. He was just wondering how to make it work. You gotta be plugged into the system to participate in city life

I think you're reading too far into this, or maybe I misread. Didn't you ask how people who live rurally make it work financially?

All I'm saying is how I do it. It's generally much cheaper to live rurally is my answer

My therapist has an estate in Vermont he inherited and talks about it all the time. The pictures are amazing and from his description it sounds perfect. Pipe dream for me, tho


Ya, Vermont really lives up to promise.
Like if you had to say it, all of the stereotypes about Vermont, both the good and the bad.

The Brave Little State.

Fun fact, for a brief period of time it was an Independent Nation as they effectively noped their way out of The Revolution.

My parents live in East Tennessee in the mountains and dont get shit for internet. At first all that was available was satellite, that was awful, so now they have some option where it uses cellphone towers but there are so few of those that their internet only works like 1/2 of the time and when it does its slow as FUCK

I would literally still want to live with my parents and keep saving money if the internet wasnt so bad but it drove me to move out pretty quick when they moved out here

I see deer daily which is cool too, especially in summer when they have babies and they are clumsy and trip over stuff when they run.
The one we fostered has recently taken up with a small herd. There were 5 of them out back this morning that she was playing with. She kept trying to lure them up to the house for snacks.

Hmm they replied to me earlier so I guess I got put on ignore for... having opinions on rural living? What a fucking baby lol

I know you said you aren't looking for advice but it's a fucking forum. If you want to vent about shit and not have to listen to people's opinions then go make a fucking blog. And it's not even about advice or all about you. You're inviting a discussion by posting here so I'm saying what I want for whoever reads it, because obviously other people have also entertained this kind of idea.

I typed this out then remembered you need to be level 15 to read CE so they might not be logging out and reading it, but oh well

That's awesome, I remember seeing a pic of you near that yearling a while back. Some of them will come up within a few yards if i'm outside in the garden, I have a few crab apple trees in the back so they mainly hang around there.

Yeah, a lot of people around here complain about the internet, and the wife's sister only lives about 15 mins away and hers is awful also. I have some weird carrier called Ben Lomand Connect,

Okay so I was wrong any about why I got put on ignore and snapped a bit, but it was still a pretty dumb reason and this person does seem to be needlessly rude to people just trying to talk to them, case in point:

Its weird that youre sitting here melting down about the very simple fact that a stranger doesnt care to talk to you

I don't really care, but between the pointlessness of it all and their general rudeness I found it pretty off-putting. They also could've just moved on and not said anything about me being on ignore.

Yeah there is no cell coverage at my parents house. Internet is 1.5 Meg dsl.

My father was a local business owner and my mom is a RN. We lived pretty comfortably as both of my families were "old" ones to the area. So we still had land holdings and local business holdings. My father's family had the old local doctors in it and mom had bankers and journalists.

It is a great setup if you can get a local union job, which are almost gone now due to the death of the rustbelt. Or if you are willing to be a local dr, lawyer, or nurse\pharmacist. There is demand and not a lot of local comp. You make less than a city person but the lifestyle is cheap.

If I were to get a pet..

actually nah I probably wouldn't get one. Just me and the quiet air. And the owls.

when I lived in some back alley grunge hut in San Antonio there was a rather large owl who liked to perch up on a tree behind my place. I always wondered if he ate the cats that constantly got into screechy fights behind my apt.
