Alternatively, never blow up your life! Live near your family and lifelong friends, establish hardcore roots with your community, always be surrounded by love. A road less taken by the educated elites, but a happy and fulfilling road nonetheless.

This is a great path, but I think it's easy to overestimate how many people are able to take it happily.

It's making a lot of assumptions:

- You have a good relationship with your family

- You have good friends who also didn't move away

- You are genuinely happy with the work you get to do in a town with more limited career choices

- Your location (area and population density) plus salary can support your hobbies
