nobody wants to live a simple, slow life anymore.

It’s so hard to slow down. But so very necessary.
I have for a long time but there are no jobs that let you pay for a simple life in slow areas. For most people, you have to save up in a fast area and outright retire somewhere slow to achieve that.
That's not exactly true, though, it can help to have a skill that's useful anywhere. I'm a welder. I can literally work anywhere on the planet that there's electricity or access to compressed gasses. And that's really most of the globe these days.
Yeah the key is having a widely needed skill. I’m in a highly skilled sector that only exists in 2-3 notoriously high cost metros, with zero chance of remote. I currently love my work but know it is unlikely to last forever. Always keeping my eye open for when I can start fresh with my savings somewhere cheaper, but that gets harder as I get older.
Do it before you get old. I'm on thy cusp of that and feel the resistance growing every day... But I fight it because I'm less happy where I am now and just want to build a cozy home in the woods.
I got a remote job. Started in the city with city wages & a city house. Sold the house & got a remote job to move to the country. It can still be done, but you have to be strategic.
Me! Me! I do!
There's more and more people doing that.
Cheers to a simple and slow life 🌠

I lead a preettttyyy simple, slow life. To the point I often feel embarrassed because I’m not keeping up with the Jones’s. But for me, I aspire to be back in that childhood simplicity.
i live a lazy life
I want ! And I am going to accomplish ! 🤙🥳🙌
You've won the "Completely wrong statement of the day" award. 😜 (Most people I know want to homestead.)
Nice being nobody
That's not true, I'm a nobody and I was a slow and simple life.
