There are so many changes going on in our cities these days in the hopes of attracting more people to move there. Condos, river walks and restaurants are transforming derelict areas into smart addresses.
Those who live in the city won’t hear a word against it and will tell everyone how great it is to be so close to everything and never having to drive to get anywhere.
There is a massive push at the minute to get more of us to live in the cities and in certain city’s it seems to be working.
While the hustle and bustle of city life suits certain individuals, there are just as many who find the whole idea abhorrent. They enjoy escaping to their place in the country and the slower pace of life without having neighbors overlooking them.
On the other hand, if you are a long term suburb or city resident, moving out into the country can take an awful lot of getting used to. Everything isn’t on your doorstep as it was before, and if you realize you need something in the evening; chances are there will be nowhere open in the vicinity.
If you are seriously thinking of giving up city living a and moving out to a smallholding to lead a real country lifestyle there is a lot to consider. You will still need to visit large supermarkets to get your groceries in bulk and make sure you get everything you will need for at least a week as this will be a long trip that you don’t want to do 3-4 times a week.
You should always have a stockpile of goods that won’t perish in case your weekly trip has to be delayed for some reason. These include things like toilet rolls and toiletries, canned and frozen foods and cough and cold remedies.
This may seem basic but it can take some people a while to get into the habit of only shopping once a week as they are so used to just picking things up on the way home.
