Small town living is where it's at
Find any small town that has essential accomodations and not a 7/11 on every corner. Besure the small town at least has a good Internet Provider for access.
Many small towns with a small Historical significance are the best.
Then enjoy cheaper food, cheaper rent ( Unless you do what I did and just buy a place ), find people nicer, and more willing to help out and on top of it all just enjoy a great sunset with nothing to worry about over a bottle of wine.
I burn away my days working and enjoying the quiet and at the end of the day go to the old bar and see the local blues bands. Its the best style of living I have ever had.
