I moved around quite a bit and every move was worth it from my perspective: Moves for university brought a lot of friendships I still maintain, moves for work brought 10x increases in savings, both kinds brought valuable experience. I now have a strong network from multiple communities which is … distributed all over Europe.
Over the last 3 years I’ve been trying to optimise toward the more local investments you talk about, to find a place where there already is community and where I can imagine staying long-term (success) and where I can contribute to the community and make investments in it (establish a group house + hub. Success for 1 year out of 2 year existence). Build a life with someone (failure).
I’m lucky that I am now for already 2 years in a place where I want to make new investments and where I can build on the investments I already made in other places. So I’m quite excited for what the next years bring :)
I didn’t particularly like the place I grew up in and I feel that I’d be missing out if I had tried to make local investments there.
So I guess this is partly corroborating what you say, but with a very different perspective?
