[quote=Anonymous]No it isn't. I grew up poor. Appalachian poor. Six years ago I went from a law firm in DC to a nonprofit part time, taking a 2/3 pay cut. I also moved to the Midwest. It had been great for my whole family. I do live on a farm, can pick up my kids every day, and still pursue my hobby. It is not for everyone, though. I still work hard, just a significant portion is outside, consists of manual labor and I enjoy it. Not everyone does. i find it peaceful in a Wendell Berry way. I am very happy but I have zero desire to go off the grid remote. My next door neighbor back in Appalachia got indoor plumbing this winter. He is 78. Truly being off the grid sounds much better than it actually is, I can tell you firsthand.[/quote]
