       Observation on the country-life maintenance Story: Since my father died I moved to countryside where my parents have a home. They bought this land about 20 years ago in their mid-30. The gravitated towards country life very early: own house, land, garden with flowers and vegetables. And throughout this years built a big house (theirs "life project"), big greenhouses that are small family business and bought a separate land piece and build a stables for 3 horses on it. My mom owns 2 horses.

       So, observation is the cost (time AND money) of living outside in the given setup + maintaining all the communication (electrical, water, gas, septic, etc) is just incredibly bigger than living in the city. I have to mow the grass for at least 10h a week to keep it in place. That's  just some idiotically spent time when I could be coding something cool (or anything other "productive" like creating something, not maintaining the existubng) or just resting. And that's plus gasoline & oil cost.

       So, that's just for the "basic" maintenance. Plus horses: feed everyday + clean the stables (thanks god I've found someone to do this for a little money). Again that's only MAINTENANCE.It's impossible to live without a car here. Have to drive to the shop for ~10 minutes one way + much higher gasoline expenses. And the communications are not in "full comfort zone". Had to spend ~ 1k$ ordering all the water filtering stuff (it will be hard for mom to carry bottled water).

       Recently 2 pumping stations broke. Had to carry them to the repair station and pay ~100$ (thanks god it was cheaper than it could be).I don't have a job right now but I can't  imagine how would I work a "standard" job (9-6, driving to the office in the center of the city) given a lot of stuff do to here all the time. My main goal in to set everything in a way to minimize maintenance time + money in the future. It will take ~ 2-3 month honesty.

       Seems like I'll have to find a guy for all this lawn-moving + some other stuff jobs after I will fix, setup and rake all the other stuff here. There's really a lot of thing to do.

       And now I don't have a car, only mom has. We share it and it's very inconvenient. And what if I'd be married and had kids? Carrying kids to a (good city) school + sport or something educational every day + wife or me going to job. That's automotive slavery.
