This life, each stage has things to do and distances that can be calculated.
Where to live, who to be with, these choices affect the next ten years.
It's not about "where to go," but "I don't know what kind of environment suits me and can only choose by imagination."
Verification Signals (more than two are considered):
· Choose mainly because others say it's good
· No real understanding of the target city/industry
· Living environment significantly affects status (commuting/noise/safety)
Definition of Environment
This stage of the environment determines three things:
① Opportunity Density——How many possibilities are around you
② Information Quality——What are the people around you discussing
③ Living Cost——How much energy you still have left
Big cities have many opportunities but consume a lot, small cities are comfortable but have a low ceiling.There is no right or wrong, only matching.Judging standard: Are you becoming more positive or more numb in that environment?
Live in a suitable place
Have a few people to talk to
Not be consumed by the environment

Commute time · Living satisfaction · Monthly new social connections
How to calculate
Calculate commute time; ask yourself if you would like to bring friends home
Healthy Range
Commute ≤45 minutes · Satisfaction ≥6/10 · Monthly meet 1 new person
Go to big cities just for "more opportunities"——Commute and rent will consume half of your energy
Go back home because of "stability"——You may have lost growth space
Only look at price when renting together——Roommate relationships can destroy a year
Don't socialize at all——Loneliness will weaken your judgment
Once and for all——Environments can be changed
First calculate three numbers: commute, rent as a percentage of income, monthly savings
Stay in the target city for two weeks before deciding (not for tourism)
Rent first look at: commute, safety, lighting
Actively meet 1 new person per month
Remember: Environments can be changed, don't make "wrong choice" a lifelong judgment
