living in a village can minimize the cost of living

Cost of living is a basic need that cannot be avoided and all humans who live must have a cost of living, it is normal and all of us have different amounts for living costs and in each region the amount of living costs will definitely not be the same, if reviewed further, the cost of living is not too expensive, the most expensive is lifestyle and luxury

Often we want to look more luxurious and forget simple things so that we ignore basic needs and follow the luxury of establishing a modern personality

The difference in our cost of living in the village with those who live in the city is very different, in terms of food we eat rice that comes from rice that is planted ourselves and we also have a lot of vegetables that are planted ourselves and we can easily buy fresh fish that has just been caught by fishermen so that our living costs are very affordable and we are far from the city center so our lives are not too modern in this regard can also save our living costs

Maybe if I break it down I don't spend IDR 150,000 per day on costs my life and my family, every morning I give my wife Rp50,000 for shopping for kitchen needs such as fish, vegetables, spices, cooking oil and other kitchen needs while we don't buy rice because we grow it ourselves, then I give my daughter Rp15,000 per day for snacks, this is enough for her to buy snacks at school and at the religious study place and I also give my wife Rp20,000 per day for snacks, to buy motorbike gasoline around Rp20,000 for two motorbikes I only need Rp30,000 for my snacks every day, if calculated the cost of living for my family per day is Rp135,000 if converted to the current Hive price of around 34Hive is quite affordable right

However, this amount can change if we have to buy rice and follow the current trend style which can make us have to spend a lot of money for living needs, and it is different from those who live in other areas, the amount above is a measure of my usual spending for living expenses, but sometimes I can spend more money for sudden needs

I think If my family moves to the city, the first problem I have to accept is that the amount of money I spend on living expenses will increase, even increasing our lifestyle, we have to adjust to the situation in the new place, maybe this will add to my burden in paying for living expenses for my family and the situation is not getting better, it's getting worse

Living in the village is simple, waking up in the morning, breathing fresh air and also eating food that is planted by yourself, this is much healthier and fresher than what we buy at the market, this is a gift and peace of life in the village and I choose to stay here and will not choose to move to another place

In addition to the price of goods in the village being cheaper and also the abundant agricultural products, I can also develop my nursing knowledge here by opening an independent health service that offers nursing services for those who are mild to moderately ill and do not have time to go to the hospital, and can be an income for me.

Thus my participation post, sorry I am late in sending my entry because here we are busy celebrating Eid 🙏 hopefully my entry is accepted
