Local Economy - Some owners used to earn quite a lot of money when they worked in a city, but now they earn a fraction of what they used to. However, their pension may be good and they save more money a year now than they did before, this is because everything is cheaper and they don't need to spend money cheering themselves up after a bad week at work. It may take them a year or so to realise how much their needs depended on the society, the values and the economy they were surrounded by. Being able to walk in beautiful mountains with waterfalls and lakes has meant that they just don't use much money trying to amuse themselves - life is high quality and cheap. Your experiences could differ, you may be thinking of moving to a place where everything will be more expensive - it depends, so just be aware of this factor.
