I lived in big city and while I enjoy most of my time in them, most of what I got to show for is health problems related to living in a big city. I understand some people enjoy it, I for one traded a 50% pay cut for the ability to live far from any big town with a smile on my face. I can cycle without breathing exhaust fumes, I can go kayaking from my backyard, I can go fishing after work, I can grow my own food, I can have a dog without feeling like holding it prisoner in a town, I can offer a healthy and low stress environment to my family, I can watch the stars from my backyard,... Just giving a bit of perspective, coming from a guy who made big money. In the end money is worthless if I'm dead from one of the many things that will end up killing me by living in a big town.
