Relocating to Countryside to Cut Lifestyle Costs

[nomad]

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

For example, there are so many people who left the city where I’m living to another city which is more cheaper. Everyone wants to make sure that they survive

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

That's the right thing to do. if you can't manage with hardship in town just relocating to a nearby place that is a lie cheaper will be key.

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.

Relocating to a place where you can spend less would be the better option. These days we need to work smart and not hard.

It was my idea to do this and live in the countryside. However, the hindrance is that I do not want to live in hot weather in the countryside. I prefer living in my city because the cool weather is all year-round.

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

I plan to relocate to the countryside fully when I retire, for now, I still have to live in the urban proximity because of my job. I hope that I retire with good passive income sources and a remote job to keep me busy.

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.

There are facilities that you would need to access in rural areas that would cost you so much to access.

First, the cost of living is lower

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.

 

[Rubz]

This is actually a really good idea. It would really help to cut costs. A lot of people struggle to maintain their lifestyle in the city because they feel ashamed to move to the countryside.

 

[fcbetting]

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.

I really can't face the life of the village. Even the people and lifestyle would be a strain for me. The cost saved is not worth my mental health.

 

[Hate2Wait]

I am not sure if it's even popular in India but I have seen people in the West are adopting this thing and some are able to save money through it

 

[Kera]

If there is an internet connection in the rural area, i don't mind relocating there to save money.

 

[Ratine]

For now l have never thought about that one. I think that would my last option for sure.

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
