So much of this comes down to where in America you live, you choose to live in San Francisco and LA, two large cities that are very expensive and likely attract a lot of the hustle culture you hate. However, across America, this is not necessarily true or even the norm.

I think what Rob was getting at is that in many articles you have espoused renting over owning, traveling, and being semi-retired, only to write an article complaining about the cost of pizza and declaring that you need to move. He was simply pointing out that you may be a living demonstration that the lifestyle you are living may not be sustainable in the long run.

The funny part is that it is folks like you who are responsible for the gentrification and rise in prices within these communities in the first place. So you may move, implement the same strategies in a new location, drive up prices, and be upset about the cost of pizza once again.
