Self-sufficiency is the real prosperity.

[Ucy]

Many who live in "real rural areas" are self sufficient in alot of things:
— They produce their own foods, such as meat, milk, seeds, fruits, vegetables etc..
— Many use natural water like, well water, streams, rain etc.
— Most are homeowners and many build their homes themselves.  
— They seem to live long. Rural areas tend to have too many old people. The short lifespan in rural areas is probably myth.
— They don't joke with environmental cleanliness. Everything appears to be changing recently.
— Most young people have migrated to urban areas or cities. I guess it's due to greed and laziness. Tv, movies, radio have taught them that sitting lazily in offices/shops for hours is easier and better.





Over dependence on government is not really prosperity in my opinion.

I am seriously considering rural living or something in between (rural and nomadic lifestyle)

It's not about being lazy but I think it's about the opportunity that the cities are offering for most. Because in rural areas, the opportunities are very limited. I'm currently living in a city and yes, living here is easy and convenient because opportunities are everywhere but the phase of life is too quicky. You wake up early to work and for businesses and you don't have enough time to rest.

While in rural areas, luckily I have relatives living there and comparing life there, I can even sleep more than the usual days I have in the city because the ambiance there is very relaxing and different. Actually, there are more wealthy people living in rural places.

Self-sufficiency is beautiful.
 Imagine having your own poultry, farms, house, family etc.
Self-sufficiency is the real freedom and prosperity

Oh yeah, I'm imagining the life of having a farm and breathing with the fresh air.

Well you can now have TV, movies, radio... computers, internet, and telecommuting in rural areas, its not like you have to live in the city, but i guess its a matter of choice. If you live in a city but manage to find a source of income that doesn't need constant physical presence, you can take the chance and move out.

The government is another matter.

I've been a city boy most of my life ( London, Oxford and Winchester ). I'm currently experimenting with life as a rural digital nomad, and I think it is great. I'm healthier, living is cheaper, and I can still work over the internet. I can choose my neighbours, and one day I can stay on the sea shore, and the next day I can be surrounded by woodland eating nuts, berries and nettles.I can even live rent free in the middle of a town on market day.
