I have no idea why people romanticize the countryside. You wanna work at a farm? Go ahead without me

    Not saying it's easy, but I think in some ways, it's quite a bit more fulfilling with the effort to payoff ratio. Plus, I assume it might work in a pleasant way if one actually has a community where people are willing to help out and do things together

    Thats all my family wants too. I could do without all social media and connectivity. Just let me and my wife have a little farm where we make bread and I make jewelry and we can trade eggs and produce for shoes and gloves. Im really not asking for much.

    You can buy a large plot of land by the city.

    Can you? Because in many places areas adjacent to cities have been turned into car-centric suburbs

    The wealthiest people I know live on big plots of land just outside of town. They pay less than half the property tax, have more than double the land you would in the city at the same price, and it's only a couple minute drive into the city for ammenities
