I live in a city and it's degenerate as fuck.
>noise
>pollution
>barely any nature
>cramped houses
>lots of shitty people
>expensive as fuck
After I finish my studies I'm leaving this shithole and never coming back. People here have no idea what happiness is or what contributes to it. Life in the countryside is so much better.

I agree, but sadly it's hard to find good paying jobs in the country

I also found a way to make a very decent living and live in the countryside.
What's the point?

You can grow your own food to make up for it, more work but if you enjoy it its worth it

Why not live ~1 hour away from the city? Or is it all suburbs there in America?
I've thought about the north of Spain. They have acres of cheap farmland. I'm not rosey eyed about making it a successful farm. I think a few passive sources of income and an internet based job would be realistic. And as the other anon said bring down living costs by growing your own food and you'll need less money.
There's just no chance in the uk unless you are very rich and/or are related to lord and lady Fontelrotherington-reeder the 3rd

Not all suburbs, friend. I live about 2 hours from New York City, and it's pretty rural.
Hell, you could find some pretty rural places within an hour of many large cities in the U.S.

An hour commute before/after a 9 hour day is just pure hell.
