I left home (in a medium-sized town) many years ago when I was 18 to go to uni and then later to find work in a big city.

If only my parents had lived in a big city, I would have stayed at home and saved so much money. Instead I have saved practically nothing. It's just impossible to save when the rent for your 'shoe box' in the city eats up half of your after-tax salary.



Try living somewhere else. You chose to live in the city.


You also chose to go to school far from home.


I chose to go to school far from home too. The reason? There are no decent universities near where I live. Sometimes there aren't many "choices".


Exactly, what's a degree from the "Univesity of Nowhere" worth? Same with jobs.

It's good that now at least, remote work is possible.
