But until recently, I hadn’t been in over a year.
Just a few hours down the road though, this property was much much less than the tiny townhouse with almost no yard that we’d been living in.There are a lot of other financial benefits that often come with living in a more rural setting like less traffic, less of a commute to work, lower costs on consumer goods and services.
The savings on these things alone can mean that if you’re in a couple, one of you may not need to bring in an income anymore..Create some savings.Moving into a lower priced market often allows you to create an instant savings account for yourself through the sale of your old house.
This savings is absolutely necessary.If you’re doing the old farmhouse thing, there WILL be costly things that come up when you’re least expecting it.
If at least one person in the household doesn’t already have a job lined up in the new town, a savings account can save your sanity.
We were able to find work right away when we moved to our new town, so that was nice to be able to keep us from getting nervous about our risky new adventure.Aren’t my new dollar store crows the prettiest?
Around here, we get a ton of crows in the Fall and Winter (real ones).People here hate them.
They chop down trees to try to get rid of them.They hold crow hunting contests to see who can kill the fatest one.
