    It’s not like rural areas are back in a pre-currency feudal era. You still have costs. 150k is very comfortable but you can easily spend it living out in the country, especially if you want to bootstrap a homestead, hobby farm, or just generally make good use of land.

      Yeah but you don’t need 150k/year to be comfortable in 90% of the US when the people living there are making half of that as a couple.
