You're not just running a business, you're a community leader, to whose ideas and judgement lots of people defer. Shit is cheap so you can have a country estate, lake house, basically wherever we want. And the population distribution in the South is such that there are small or mid sized cities spread out pretty regularly. So you can probably be within 1-2 hours of some city life while running your rural demesne.
But perhaps the best part is the tiny presence of the UMC or anyone other than your fellow chill oligarchs who might try to one up you. The doctors, lawyers, plant managers and other educated professionals frequently live on the edge of the nearest city and reverse commute out into the country.
All in all, it's an incredible life, if you can appreciate it. The standard patriarch of a manufacturing business with a $2 million EBITDA 1.5 hours outside of Birmingham is probably happier than the average centimillionaire in New York. |
