I love being a Millennial. Being a Millennial is great. Being a Millennial doesn't make me yearn for death. 2000$ to exist is a steal (lemmy.world)

It's just where he lives. All the things he pays for is more than what I pay for a 4 bedroom 2 living room house, fuel for my vehicles and water bill, that allows me to wash clothes whenever needed. You'll hear how expensive shit is mostly from city dwellers. They live packed in with millions, competing for the same housing and jobs, and think you're ignorant or a dullard for not wanting the same things they do.

    think you’re ignorant or a dullard for not wanting the same things they do.

    I encourage this because the more people who think this way the fewer people will want to live out in the boonies which means less light and noise pollution and no NIMBYs whining about the way my pigs smell.

    I'd kill to live out in the boonies. But it's hard to find a job out there if you're in certain fields, or a rental. Unless you can afford to buy, you can't live in the country. I live in the suburbs and my rent is still insane. I'm trying to pivot to a better paying career where I can work remotely, but I can't do that overnight. Trust me, I hate living where I can hear people. All I want is to someday be able to walk outside into my own damned yard and not stare someone else in the face, but I have neither a yard nor privacy.

    I don't think that's fair

    If I could go live out in the woods by myself with my dog I'd love to do it. As it is I've moved out to a pretty rural area of my state because I hate living in the city.

    However, prices are still pretty damn high out here, I just get a bit more space. On the other hand I have to go into work once every two weeks, and starting in a few months, I'll have to go in 3 days a week. Driving in with traffic takes anywhere between 2 and 3 hours. But finding a job in my field closer to me is next to.impossible. so a lot of people live in the city, and chose to live in small hutches with 3 or 4 roommates. A lot of them would leave if they could too.
