It's not even necessary to move to the countryside, just to any area that's less built up. I moved from a major metropolitan area to a small city a few years back. Sure the wages my wife and I made went down a little, but the cost of living went down a lot. That move made it possible for us to buy a home when we were both in our twenties.
People need to respond to local economic conditions, not just sit still and demand the world change around them to suit their needs.
