My friend chose WFH and decided to stay in his village.
Salary -> 50 LPA
Cost of living -> almost 0 LPA
Everyone said he made the smartest decision.
Bangalore rent saved -> 2.5 LPA
Travel cost saved->1LPA
Home food every day.
On paper, he was saving lakhs every month.
But reality was different.
Tech meetups in Bangalore -> missed
Manager visibility -> low
Team bonding -> almost none
There was a startup meet in Banglore, but he couldn’t go.
Meanwhile village life had its own surprises.
Relatives dropping in anytime -> daily interruptions
Local functions -> “you must attend”
Random responsibilities -> unavoidable
Quiet focus time -> rare
Slowly something changed.
He was still working.
But he wasn’t really in the loop anymore.
Decisions happened without him.
Opportunities passed quietly.
His network stopped growing.
Money saved.
But career momentum slowed.
Sometimes the most expensive thing isn’t rent.
It’s distance from the room where things happen.
