  1.  @darylyost7273  BINGO. I copied success and planned ruthlessly. My HS peers also often went into the police, Post Office, and armed forces. I chose the Air Force and fully retired before most of them. What's hilarious is I've civilian friends who also own their own land debt-free but they only have SSI disability because they really are too disabled to hold a job, but that didn't stop them from buying cheap chitty lots no one else wanted, having a used trailer dragged in then slowly fixing it up. I probably know more poor country boys who are debt-free than well-off city folk. I was born in an expensive suburb and hated it (too many rules). Today my alarm clock is a rooster.

  2. I escaped a major city metro area in 1981 and don't miss it a bit. Too many people stay trapped in expensive areas. My poverty level $70K/year retirement income would not buy gutter space in north Jersey. OTOH since I live in the southeast I only need to spend about half that to live comfortably and I'm debt-free. Instead of renting garage space (common in the Northeast) if I need another I build it myself and either of mine are bigger than most apartments.

  3. The electricity waste alone is my dealbreaker. I'm far from rich but roughly half my income is discretionary. Meanwhile people making several times my income live hand to mouth.
