Moved from Concord to a tiny town outside Plymouth 8 years ago, still not sure it was the right call

Back in 2016 I had to pick between staying in Concord with easy access to everything or buying a cheap fixer upper way up near Rumney. I went with the fixer upper because the land was half the price and I wanted quiet. Now I spend 45 minutes just getting to a real grocery store and the internet is still spotty. But I can see the stars at night and my nearest neighbor is a quarter mile away. Anyone else make a move like that and end up feeling both ways about it?

Oh man, that feeling of being split between two worlds is rough. You definitely aren't alone in that quiet vs convenience trade-off.

Nah @jessica_miller I gotta disagree. That 45 minute drive is peace and quiet tax. Worth every mile if you ask me.
