Exceptions to this would be if you live in the city core or rural/boonies for just a few months a year, which Iâm planning on doing before 2025 when I permanently move out of the USA. Downtown Hong Kong, my favorite city in the world, will likely be a destination where I spend a few months out of the year. Yet, I wonât live there. Too expensive and too stressful (and in Hong Kongâs case, too hot and humid in the summer). Iâll likely spend a few months there, a few months in the USA during the summer to visit my friends and family, and spend the rest of the year in the outer suburbs in a place like New Zealand or Argentina.
Another possible exception would be for older guys who have a live-in OLTR. These men may be able to pull off living in the rural or boonies zones, making occasional trips closer to downtown to visit regular FBâs.
Younger guys focused more on getting laid and less on making money might be okay in the core or outer core temporarily, just as long as you have a specific battle plan and future dates to get the hell out of there so you can maximize your income, minimize your debt, minimize your taxes and living expenses, and maximize your investing and savings.
Today, I live in the outer suburbs. I used to live in the suburbs for many years, and both the higher costs and the âkeeping up with the Jonesesâ aspect drive me crazy, so I moved to the outer suburbs several years ago. It was one of the best decisions of my life. I live very well, spend very little money in terms of living expenses, pay very little taxes, live in a very nice, but very inexpensive house, and live a very happy, low-stress lifestyle.
Granted, seeing women is a challenge, but itâs my only challenge, and itâs not a showstopper at all. In my opinion, the Alpha 2.0 lives as far away from the downtown core as possible, to the point where women complain about how far out you live, but still make the effort to come see you. This means youâre getting laid while still saving a lot of money in lifestyle. If women are happy to meet you where you live because youâre so close to downtown, youâre spending a needless amount of money in lifestyle costs, at least in my opinion.
For many years, since moving out to the outer suburbs, women have regularly complained that âI live too far away,â yet theyâll still drive out to my house to have sex with me. If I lived in a rural or boonies area, this would not happen. Theyâd GPS my address and immediately say hell no.
Thus, the outer suburbs is the perfect Alpha 2.0 balance between low cost of living and access to women. By living closer to the city, you waste money, and by living further away, you lose access to women. If Alpha 2.0 is something you want, I suggest setting a goal to move to this zone at some point in your future if you donât already live there.
For more adventurous Alpha 2.0âs, you can combine this with a Five Flags goal or similar or if/when you move out of the Western world. By living in the outer suburbs of an inexpensive, non-Western country, youâll save massive amounts of cash (which you can put toward your investments) while still living a great lifestyle.
