Its a hard adjustment to make. I got back from my travels two months ago, was gone for one month, maybe it would be different if I came back to a large city with a good vibe, but I've come back to the same crime ridden junkie filled northeast city of 100k. Its cold, its raw, its disgusting, but the rent is so cheap it allows me to save a ton of money. I could move 30 miles to a nicer city but I'd be paying way more in rent, forced to commute further to work, and at the end of the day its still someplace I ultimately don't want to be.
So right now I'm sacrificing, I'm staying here, pinching pennies and punching the clock, saving my money and working on a remote business so at the end of this summer I can get out of my lease, quit my job and buy a one way ticket out of this country.
