Should we give up the city life and move out to the country?

Asked by hopscotchy (552points) November 30th, 2011

Me and my husband are considering a move 30 miles outside of the big city to a rural area on a 10 acre plot of land. I need some devils advocates in weighing the pros and cons of this decision. We love being in nature. We garden and want to do it on a larger scale with some livestock too. We’re just fed up with city life and the traffic and overcrowding. The commute to work is not a big issue. Also, the area we’re planning to move to is only 3 miles away from a small town with medical care and a grocery store. What am I not considering in my idealized version of this country life? Conversely, if you think it’s a great idea or have experience doing this yourself, bring it on.
