@MegaLokopo I like your attitude because it works and I'm proof! Stick with it since a free mind has fewer self-imposed restrictions. I escaped urban life because it's expensive, oppressive and annoyed me. It's not only not hard to leave cities, all of which are horribly restrictive compared to areas with few neighbors and ample land, but it's liberating. Most humans are simple herd beasts who prefer not to think. I lead a methodically planned life so I escaped the NY metro. I could never own several acres where I was born and if I did would have no fun because densely populated areas effectively prohibit more than existing. Most people are easily deterred by what they see on the news and never look deeper. It's practical in many states to buy property on a modest wage, place a used mobile home or renovate a small cheap older home then pay that off and have low overhead for life. My poor friends legitimately on SSI disability still managed to own their homes because they bought what others did not want than made it good over time by their own labor and opportunistic buying of goods and services.
