That sucks. I live in the burbs and we have great public transit connecting to the urban centre.
Maybe in your specific part of the world you'll need to live within major city limits for the conveniences you need. Not so everywhere.

The fact he relocated for a job kills the chance he is making that.
You dont live in downtown Chicago and get groceries at whole foods then relocate for a job that doesnt pay you enough for $80 car payments.

The country is for living in, the cities are just to visit. I would hate living in Atlanta. Though I love to go downtown for events, I love the fact I can go and unwind on the back porch at home with the sounds of the boonies.

Being right outside a city is still way better than being out in the middle of nowhere.
Way to ignore the posts that make it clear you are trolling lol.

Rule #1 of the internet is to ignore the haters, they will just drag you into their hate pile. I am trying to only respond to people who are being reasonable.
This is my old place in the small town.
Amazing place for ripping around on a dirtbike or floating out on the water. So quiet. Nobody around to bother you.
That place was cheaper than my fucking 1 bedroom box that I live in now where I constantly hear drunk fucks stumbling around and screaming out my window. But hey, same day amazon deliveries!

The internet out here kills me as well, I've been pre-loading spiderman since I woke up like 8 hours ago.
You were able to afford living in chicago and shop at whole foods and relocated for a job that you cant even afford a cheap car payment on, yeah sure ok.
So you can afford to buy new video games but too poor for cheap car payments. Alright.
lol, it sounds like you are getting none of the benefits then. It's probably just not for you and your current lifestyle. Move back if you can.
OP
OP
You are making assumptions about my buying habits, it's very easy to get a cheap meal/ingredients from whole foods. And if you're walking to/from you're saving on all sorts of costs. Car insurance is CRAZY compared to any of those costs my friend.
You just bought Spider-Man but claim you are too poor for a cheap car payment.
That doesnt add up.
OP
OP
$45 for a video game I'll play for months is not bad, I bought after selling some old ones too :)
You were making 50k before and relocated to a rural area for a job and claim to be poor now. That doesnt make any sense. You dont relocate for a job that doesnt pay decently.
Nature is boring as hell. I can't stand the look of it and hate being out in it. I'm a concrete cat.

OP
I quit an old job I did not enjoy. I didn't get a new job until after my move, why are you spreading false info guy?
get a 15ish year old Camry or Civic or something and get liability insurance, you'll pay well under $100 bucks a month on just about any insurance company you can find.
OP

I love being in nature, sadly this place is mostly just corn and soy fields. I'd love to be walking distance from some hiking areas.
He rather buy Spider-Man and keep complaining he is too poor apparently.
The fact that these are your biggest concerns is just damn absurd. Get off the computer and take a few days to think about your life man.
Stop shopping at Whole Foods and Grubhub if you are that poor. Damn people, it's not that hard.
OP
OP
Whenever I look into insurance costs I get quotes that are over 100/month (higher with an old car like that), do you have any tips?
Stop buying things like video games and take out food. Cut your spending across the board. Boom. Money for insurance and what not.
Air quality, noise pollution, light pollution, density, smell, cost.
As long as you can get decent internet semi-rural is so much nicer. Big yard, big house, for probably 2/3rds less than paying to live in a big city.

That's crazy. I'm paying $170 a month for two vehicles, both under 10 years old.
I live in a village with a population of less than 100. It's amazing. Got more than 10 supermarkets/stores within a 5-mile radius. The ocean is just a few hundred meters away.
Remember, this is the guy who claimed he couldnt pay his rent yet owned two pairs of shoes both worth about $500 each.
I don't understand this, the only time an old car would cost more on insurance is classic cars on specialty insurance(like Hagerty). Granted you buy a 2003 Camry on a payment plan you will have to have full coverage, but a car like that won't take long to pay off(could be done in less than a year, depending on circumstances) and you can drop it down to liability, which is the cheapest option for car insurance and is almost always less than $100 a month(unless you have like mad traffic violations or something).

The quotes must all be highly exaggerated then, I'll actually call and see what they tell me.

It's obvious OP won't reply to this. I was willing to give them the benefit of the doubt, but it's clear they are trolling at this point. Oh well...

Those shoes were sold to pay rent, they were being held onto for the value increase. They cost much less when I originally purchased. Are you actually interested in helping or just here to spread more false info?
OP
OP
Car insurance + payments would easily be more than I was paying monthly for groceries/food before. You have to realize I was mostly buying ingredients for cooking not pre-made meals and wine and fancy cheese lol. The grubhub I ordered pickup about twice a month and it was hardly a major cost. My complaint is the lack of access on grubhub, it's no longer a special bi-monthly treat when there are no options at all.
I still don't buy how someone can be remote enough that they're surrounded by corn fields and can't reasonably make it to any kind of store, yet still live close enough to get to their job 5 days a week with no issues and somehow don't have any yard.
Unless you work picking corn none of what you're saying adds up. You're definitely exaggerating your situation for the purposes of the thread.

I've been picking up as much Virtual work as possible due to the location, luckily I've gotten a few new clients lately. I just hope my crappy internet doesn't hinder my work going forward.
I'm not sure if your serious. You know in the real middle of nowhere like where I've lived all my life we had cars and *gasp* dirt roads? We didn't even have stores. We had a single gas station. Imagine how far we had to drive to grab milk.
I'm actually loving it. Being able to order food is awesome and the traffic isn't as bad as I thought it would be. People are pretty cool too.
You relocated to the middle of nowhere with shitty internet to work from home?
Absolute bullshit.
