    Yep. My household is WFH 100% and we moved to a small town (Iowa). We’re not especially high-paid for the tech industry, but we are above the local median income by almost 10x. We try to spend with local businesses as much as possible to help get money into the local economy, but there’s only so much locally-made/available stuff.
