Many people simply spend the increases in their pay while fantasizing about what they don’t currently have. Live in the country … “I need to be in the city where I can access more events and people to fulfill my life. The countryside is boring and making me feel x.” Live in the city … “I need to be in the country where I can have more solitude and enjoy nature to fulfill my life. The city is overstimulating and making me feel y.” Some of us are nomadic by nature and simply want some place different every few years. Others want stability and remain in places for decades. I used to fantasize about new places, expecting the change in environment alone to be impactful. Now I realize that changing locations will not by itself impact my life for the better, but the act of searching for a new home, discovering new places and meeting new people is exciting and invigorating. Moving physical things sucks though, so minimizing physical possessions makes this lifestyle much smoother of course.
