"Living on twenty acres sounds great until you realize you'd like TVs, internet, toilet paper, a car, and education for your kids. Turns out those things cost money because there's only so much of them - how are you gonna make an income living in the middle of nowhere to pay people to send it all your way?"
With a remote tech job, like I've been doing for over a decade while living on a rural four acre lot. I started with crappy satellite internet and now have decent satellite internet. And also toilet paper, etc.
I love it out here and can hardly imagine wanting to live in a city anymore.
>Remote work affects all of this but even then it's a dangerous proposition - if the winds change you're done for, and your network is still going to be shot.
I also moved out of the major metros - some things are worth the risk :)
