For a long time since the advent of the industrial revolution, humans have been shepherded to towns to go and work in factories so that capitalists can make huge profits due to high labour supply.

However with the coming of the internet many people can now work from any place. Many have opted to work from their rented houses in urban areas.

Very few have thought of totally moving back to rural areas where they do not have to pay multiple bills except a few like food.

In most countries, there is electricity in rural areas and internet access too. So there is not much difference with towns.

Cheap lifestyle

Living and working from rural homes automatically transforms your liquidity conditions since most items are cheaper than in cities. There are no hefty bills and the food is healthy.

Well of course there are not many things to spend your money on but you can live a healthy life spending your free time seeing your relatives, fishing and also working on the farm.

Plenty of land to work on

There is plenty of land to work on in rural areas hence you can easily venture into side jobs like poultry farming, goat farming, tree seedlings planting and selling.

There are so many things you can do with large tracts of land available. Working online while in the village leaves you with extra capital to invest in side projects that you had always waned to start.

It is actually easier to take a mortgage in a city and pay of it by renting it out without any stress since you dont pay rent for where you live.

Travel

It is also easier to plan your holidays due to the extra cash you have left in your pockets. You can go to any part of the world and come back home where bills are down to earth and life is quite and clean.

Commuting

Working in urban areas comes with heavy commutes of traffic jams and bus faires that add up to the expenses and pressure of urban life. Online village work has such demands hence one has more time in the hands.

You can work on your poultry back yard early in the morning before opening up your laptop for work.

Retirement

Working from rural areas also helps you plan your laters years. You dont have to move from high speed urban life to a slow rural life when you retire from work like most people find themselves struggling to adjust.

When it comes to quality schooling, your kids can access that online while they also grow in serene environment. They can still go school in rural areas.

Your rural area should become the center of the world and not the city or town you were accustomed to think is the place to be.

Disclaimer

Not everyone is able to work online. Some companies do not allow their employees to work from home. However for those who are working from home and paying hefty bills, you should think whether a village life can add more value to your life.
