Very wise “decrease cost of living to increase the quality of life.” Many seem to have it upside-down “increase the cost of living to decrease the quality of life.”
I know many people who moved to big city’s chasing after the big paychecks. They never been poorer in their life and rent along with food costs so high. That is no way to live life. Yet they still think it going work out they just need to "make a bit more." Where more is never enough.
More is never enough, just ask all of the broke actors and sports stars. No use climbing so high just to end up at the bottom, in my opinion.
