And then Sharkey comes, cuts down the trees, burns out the hobbit holes.
The trouble with utopia is that the outer world intervenes, and the outer world is a real bitch.

Money does buy happiness though. It gives you security of knowing that you will be ok, ok if your car breaks down and needs major repairs, ok that you will make your mortgage payment on time, ok if you need home repairs, no problem if there is a luxury item you want to purchase.
I fucking hate you assholes that say money doesn't buy happiness. You would be even more miserable if you didn't have any.

Why can't you be rich and have friends? Plenty of people do. Just befriend other rich people, surely that can't be hard. Some of us poorfags have a hard enough time being poor and even with friends it sucks. Money trumps friends easily, hands down.

What island? I want to move to an island and start a business.

Money can buy happiness but it doesn’t necessarily do so. It only works for people who can actually be made happy in the first place.
Some people will be miserable fuckers regardless.
And some people use their money to buy a lifestyle that eventually makes them very unhappy, most often because it isolates them and humans are generally a social animal.
I say this as someone who is generally happy and who is definitely happy with my money situation. I know a lot of people as rich or richer than me who are not happy, though. Simply because they do not share the reasons for being unhappy that poor people have doesn’t mean they are happy. They are just unhappy for reasons other than shortage of money.

I live in a farming area being gentrified by yuppie faggots with million dollar cookie cutter houses stacked on top of each other.
When the offers get better, I will move to further out. Fuck yuppies.
I like being able to blow shit up and shoot whever I like. When I no longer can, I will move again.

You are a very negative person. You must have a really sad life. Commie.
Urban farms would be the perfect answer... one house... empty field.... one house.... empty field... Growing your own food keeps you human... isolation destroys people. Balance is the key.

Isolation destroys hive-mind concepts and ideas that putrify in the brains of urban dwelling humans. Such as: How can I get through life without my phone? The government should help me because things are expensive, I think transgenders should be given equal rights, and I don't care what social media does with my private information.
That is the rotten America that we all wish to escape from.

🎶 Green Acres is the place to be... farm living is the life for me...🎶

You can like rural and abhor commotion and disorder. Cities bring commotion and disorder. Rural areas bring a pastoral feeling around farms, and a quiet life where you can sit on your front porch or take a quiet walk around the neighborhood.
Yards are clean, people are friendly, roads are maintained, even if dirt roads.
Canada, Iowa, Wisconsin are far from puddles, dirt, commotion and disorder, quite the opposite in fact.

Biggest thing I miss about living in the country is taking a piss in my front yard.

My friend told her realtor when she was looking for a place, "I want to be able to walk to the mailbox naked, and no one will know."
