A 2017 study showed that each year of200,000 people leave the countryside for the city. As a rule, graduates of rural schools become those who leave - they start their studies at universities or immediately look for work. And this is the right choice, because in rural areas it is almost impossible to find a well-paid job, it is very difficult to develop culturally, and in general there is nothing to do due to the lack of cinemas, cafes and other public places. However, some people, on the contrary, begin to think about moving completely from the city to the countryside, because they see a lot of advantages in this. It is quite possible to work remotely in high-paying jobs, you can grow most food yourself, and you can go to cities for entertainment - usually they are not far away. In addition, the air in the villages is clean, there is no noise and other irritants. But is everything really so good?
Where do you think it is better and more profitable to live, in a village or a city?
It is immediately worth noting that the village can bebetter than the city only if it is not too far away. For a comfortable life, it is necessary that the city is no further than 100 kilometers - in this case, you can always go to a large store and another necessary place. In addition, villages located near cities usually have asphalt roads, there is Internet access, and so on. All this adds up to comfort.

Where is the cheapest place to buy a house?
The cost of a city house depends on manyfactors ranging from population, location, condition and so on. In small towns, an apartment with one room can be bought for 2-3 million rubles, but in big cities prices can reach 8 million or more. Village houses are cheaper due to their relatively far location from cities - for the same couple of million rubles, you can find a dwelling with a much larger area and a garden. Such a conclusion, of course, can be made on the basis of information from sites with ads.
Houses in the village are in different conditions, the price depends on this.
But the construction of a country house from scratch,Definitely, it will cost more than buying a city apartment. You can find information that building a house with an area of 100 square meters can cost 5.5 million rubles. Moreover, this is the price of only the first stage of construction, which includes a box of a house with a foundation, a roof, a facade, windows and entrance doors. To this must be added the cost of workers, depending on qualifications and experience, they can ask for a month of work from 50 to 120 thousand rubles. If you include interior decoration, the purchase of furniture, the installation of fences, electricity, and so on in the final cost, you get an exorbitant amount.
It goes without saying that building a huge house will cost more than buying it.
In general, buying an apartment or a country house can cost the same amount. Only in the first case, the buyer receives a standard odnushka, and in the second - own house for several tens of square meters and a plot. One of the disadvantages of living in the countryside isthe need to travel to the city, because most of the important establishments are located there. Travel costs depend on the frequency of trips and distance - in some cases, you can do without them.

On the Internet, you can find information that by investing about 24,000 rubles in keeping chickens, you can earn only 65,000 rubles a year. This is provided that there are 80 chickens - if there are fewer of them, the profit will be even less.
