There’s also a constant stream of work. As my grandma always says: “there’s always something that needs doing”. Also, if you have animals, you can’t take a day off, let alone taking a week-long holiday because who’s gonna take care of them?
Unless you move there just to live somewhere calm and not do any of the countryside stuff, in which case, yeah… uber boredom, nothing to do other than what you normally do at home in an apartment.
Yeah, I moved to the country in 9th grade. I went from a school where my class was about 1k kids, to one that was about 150 kids, to a graduating class of 28.
I lived on a farm and goat dairy, and there’s a good reason I got a degree in information technology. Although I still have to go help my mom with stuff a few times a month.
It’s definitely not fun when doing literally anything is a 30+ mile round trip, and that trip is to a town with a Walmart and a few restaurants.
The ideal town size is around 100k people. There’s not a ton of people so traffic isn’t awful, but there’s still plenty of stuff to do.
The only plus is that I have 21 acres to grow food on when society collapses.
