>Stay Away from High-Income Neighborhoods
I don't generally struggle too much with the pull towards 'lifestyle inflation', but I have to say that after living in a dumpy neighborhood for several years, moving to a nicer area this year is something I've appreciated every single day.
There are trees and parks, lots of businesses and services right nearby, I save nearly an hour of each day with a shorter commute, it's quiet and clean and I feel safe walking around at night. Dollar for dollar the value has been very high for me, and I'm so thankful to have the means to choose where I want to live.
