We are certainly asking that question here - why are we paying so much to live in a location convenient for commuting into London when we don't actually commute into London? We could easily cash out on our ex-council 3 bed semi worth over half a million and get something verynice elsewhere..
Yes, have been thinking along the same lines too. Providing you've got a good internet location then you can live anywhere in the country, though living abroad does present some issues.
