People can live a less stressful life in a small town.You can buy a secondhand house and cut your financial needs to a bare minimum.One of my favorite poems is:
Life is what you make of it
The point of view you take of it
Depends upon the way your mind is set
If your thoughts are weary ones
Your days will all be dreary ones
And out of them no pleasure will you get
You can see the funny side
And walk upon the sunny side
Its up to you to choose what you will do
You can play a manly part
Or you can let life break your heart
Give up or keep on fighting through———by Patience Strong
