<prompt> Human: Can living somewhere with a lower cost of living potentially inhibit someone from living somewhere with a higher cost of living later in life?For example if someone works in a small town with cheaper housing and lower relative salary most of their life, would they likely have the means to liveretire somewhere with a much higher cost of living as opposed to someone trying to the do the opposite higher cost of living and higher relative salary?It seems like a person would acquire much more in terms of overall assets living in an area that has a higher cost of livinghigher rate of income. This would likely give someone in this situation much more mobility in terms of where they could potential liveretire later in life.I am assuming a person would be doing compareable work in both situationsIt just doesnt seem to be something that equals out in the end from what I can see...  <response>: Earn as much as you can, wherever you are.Spend as little as is reasonable, wherever you are.Use the surplus to acquire assets invest.Managing your resources wisely is the key.
