Remote work: 6 months later

I moved to a cheaper city. I miss the big city. Going to in fact move back, even though I am remote.

The ?? $1k I saved per month is not worth all the good stuff I lost from the city (but it depends what you value)

Sure, but there are many big citys with varying rent prices.

For example, Berlin is much cheaper than Munich.

I'd never move to the coutryside again. I'm just no small-town guy.

I moved from Chicago (One of the cheaper "big cities" that actually has jobs), to a medium sized city (population: 250k).

I got almost double the house size, and 1/2 of grass to call my own... but now I can't walk anywhere, and life is too short to spend it on a mower. Plus I now spend a ton to take care of my house/yard, and I need a car, etc. etc.

Big city life is the way to go ;)
