This is becoming a front-of-mind question for many people, including my son, who works for one of the world’s largest internet companies in the Bay Area. He’s been working from home for months now, with no end in sight. If this continues, could he move back to the Wasatch Front, retain the same salary and, instead of paying rent for an apartment in one of the nation’s most expensive markets, buy a house?
If you work for a company along the Wasatch Front and have a yearning to live in a rural setting somewhere, could you live out your dream without having to scrounge for ways to make money in a traditionally bleak rural economy?
