If you are unable to manage your lifestyle because of low income, or because of inflation or recession, consider relocating to the countryside. There are two significant benefits. First, the cost of living is lower, enabling a decent life with a smaller income. Second, you escape the constant bombardment of ads enticing you to spend more. Relocation to countryside will be possible only when you work remotely and have passive income source. In the countryside, there are not many income opportunities, except for farming, therefore if you do not work remotely it might not be possible to relocate
Relocating to Countryside to Cut Lifestyle Costs

We shifted to a semi rural town more for a lifestyle change where there would be less traffic, pure air and our own property where we constructed our house
Moving to the countryside has been one of the best choices I have made. Some essentials are much more reasonably priced here compared to the city, and even apartments are more affordable.

This might not be possible for those were are still working on jobs, right? There are less earning opportunities in the rurral areas, right?

That's what I am thinking. Lifestyle cost in the country side is cheaper and when you retire, you will have less income, so you need to think about how to cut your lifestyle cost.
This is true but only for rent cost. Usually prices in markets are same every where. I think by law prices can't be much lower or higher in different part of countrys.
It is true that living in rural area costs less. But in my city, most of the amenities are in city areas. In rural area, you may not even have internet which I consider essential in particular for people working from home.
I read how some people relocate in cheaper area since they had option work remote. Little later company wanted back in office and they could not travel every day in office in anymore. Check your comapnys plans before you relocate.
Do you mean you earn online only? I think its tough because it would be tough to stay in a different place and if you have an offline job then even more tough
