>I'm playing with the thought of opening a store in some small country town where I can cook food and sell basic necessities. my experience with people who decide to go live somewhere rural after giving up on the suburban/urban existence. 1. you will probably be the outsider, for more than a decade. It's not Schitt's creek. 2. small country store does not actually seem like a sustainable business model in today's world. You might end up having to work at Walmart's in a few years sorry if it sounds harsh, but my experience is if you want to move from a situation you find unendurable you have to be disciplined not to try to dream yourself to a better place. What to do then? No idea, I know a guy who quit programming to be personal trainer / masseuse. I would hate that. Even the worst programming job I ever had would be preferable to me. So I don't think I can really suggest optimal strategies, just point out the weakness in the one you're considering. Which I guess makes this a very HN comment. |

It won't be easy but France24 had some good stories about people who had done just that. They worked hard but for the moment they seemed to think that they had made the right decisions. I have enough money to live for more than a year without making a single penny so it's not that as bad as it sound.
Well plan C is going back to industrial work I did during the summers at university. Very dirty, very rough but at the end of the day I felt better than I do now. My boss said that I can come back anytime so that's always a backup.
