love the urban lifestyle? It's more efficient for me, and there are always

transportation available to me, and stores and friends within walking distance!
The most difficult part is finding some meaning in what I do for a living to
pay for food and shelter. Rather than making and/or growing my own food, I
enjoy going to the grocery store right near my house or eating out with friends
or my son.

I can't say that I love the urban lifestyle but it is where I happen
to live and will most likely remain so. There are quite a lot of
disadvantages to it but there is an upside as well. For one thing, I
don't need a car to survive. When we go on vacation, I can rent a car.
Since I work for a travel agency, I also get a discount. Another
factor is our health. My wife has chronic fatigue syndrome and I have
arthritis and sleep apnea. Even my kids have a few medical problems.
It's much easier to get care in the city and wilderness living is just
not practical for us. It's not that we don't love being out in the
wild; that's where we tend to spend our vacations.

One more to count as city folk, over here! Wishing you all a Simple Life
in the New Year ;)
Maybe one day I will try that wilderness thing but as long as it is not a
burning desire, I don't think I am ready for it yet. Besides I could not
afford it either, or I would have to emigrate to a country where land is
cheaper.
I want to simplify my life so it will become easier to see the forest
through the trees, and to spend my time on my priorities, instead of taking
care of my crowded and disorganized lifestyle.

I think city living is great. I live in the social and cultural
epicenter of Chicago. I guess less diverse cities wouldn't be as
attractive to me. It's always easy to meet or just hang around people.
My brother lives in rural/wooded area and he and his neighbors have to
cut and stack wood for the winter. Flicking a switch or turning a faucet
and paying bills is my kind of simple.
In my opinion, living in the primordial woods would be anything but
simple because of the lack of infrastructure - communications, plumbing,
and transportation. I know there are more developed woodland living
situations, but I'm still in the "it's a nice place to visit..." camp.
Happy New Year!

kid (I was also an only child, so it was rather lonely growing up so far
away from people). I vowed I would live in the big city when I grew up.
Now that I'm grown up, I live in a suburban-type city (not a large one --
big cities have too much traffic and noise for my taste!). While I think
it's good for the kids to live where they can play with their friends on a
more regular basis, I personally wouldn't mind finding a happy medium
somewhere. It would be nice to have a little bit of land and not be quite
so close to the neighbors, but still be reasonably close to civilization
when you wanted it.
