I completely agree with your statement. The issue with OPs statement is that it's ideal for those with means but unrealistic for those without.

In some ways the opposite. When I left my shit tier flyover village I had nothing. Nothing was connecting me back home and there was no backup plan. It would be a lot more difficult for me to move now given all the roots I have put down.

What we think we control ends up controlling us. That mortgage that was supposed to make us free of landlords, that house we can't sell, that car that we struggle to find parking for, that career we worked so hard on building. I am not advocating giving anything up I am pointing out you have absolute freedom when you have nothing to lose and can't stay where you are.
