As Covid lockdowns become a distant memory and life seems to be getting back to some level of normal, many in the media have begun to speculate that the trend I call the Exodus to Affordable Lifestyle trend will come to an end.

They believe that employers will demand staff return to offices, and that living and working remotely will became a thing of the past as everyone moves back to the cities and suburbs.

They won’t.

And the reason they won’t is that the Exodus to Affordable Lifestyle is not a response to Covid - it started long before that.

It’s a long-term trend and it’s here to stay.
