sometimes i wish i lived in a nicer place, but why? im single and without kids. so i’ve decided im just going to live here and pocket the extra thousands i would spend on a nicer place.
i don’t want to live in the city or the suburbs, i like this place other than the road noise. and the neighbors havent been shooting their guns as much recently, although i suspect that will change whenever deer season rolls around.
if i won the lottery or something i would probably buy a nicer house on lake michigan or something, kinda secluded.
i can’t deal with all the noise and stimulus that comes from living in neighborhoods or cities or suburbia. so this works for me.
i barely go to my hometown anymore, just for groceries and sometimes to the hospital. it only has 15k people, but even that is too much for me. this little town im in now only has 2000 residents. and with online shopping i can shop online and no need to commute to the city.
i think i could save 100k on housing, a little place in my hometown goes for about 160k on the low end side, so maybe i won’t have to work until im 66. or whenever you can draw social security by the time i gget to retirement age, if i live that long.
