Yet another factor, given that most of us here are of retirement age, is our health. Be careful wishing for a remote property in the hills, because the isolation works both ways. How long does it take to get to town? How long will you keep driving? How far away is the hospital. Also, there's the weather. As kids, we all love the snow, but how long will you be willing to shovel a long driveway during the winter. If you fall and break a bone, is there cell coverage (assuming you don't think 5G has infected your brain yet, but I digress). Just sayin', what we see as the perfect place to live when we're 30 may well be something different when we're 75.
(A perfect age-related example is buying a 2-story house when you're 30. How you feel about stairs when you're 80 is likely to change.)
