That was a good decision. Home is home. I was away from my home for the sake of fiat for 17 years and now even all of the world's money money can take me away from my home. Mine story is opposite to yours. Where I used to work was a big city and the cost of living was much higher there. But my home is located in the beautiful foothills of the Himalyas and on the banks of river Ganga. Here I have so much of nature and so much of love of my parents , my siblings, friends and now a beautiful partner, I can't even imagine relocating just for the sake of earning a few extra bucks or if I require for cutting down on my cost of living.
