Think Small: A Millennial's Guide to Building a Meaningful Life in Rural America

By Matthew Hoagland

In 2015, Matthew Hoagland and his fianc e were living typical millennial lives in trendy Asheville, North Carolina, when they decided to move to one of the smallest towns in the state. They suspected they were in for a big lifestyle change and they were right. But in exactly the opposite way you'd think This memoir/how-to hybrid takes readers on the journey of how Matthew and his wife not only managed to adjust to living in a small town, they established a much better life there. From creating their own wedding venue, to buying a house for just $39,000, and landing one of the most high-profile jobs in town, Hoagland uses his own experience to give struggling millennials a step-by-step guide to use while building their own meaningful life in "the middle of nowhere."In a post COVID-19 world, this book gives readers in their twenties and thirties a roadmap for success where they least expect it: rural America. Many millennials are college grads, have a drive to succeed, and a desire to be part of something bigger than themselves. But they're also stuck with jobs that don't match their degrees; paying just enough to cover rent but leaving them feeling unappreciated. Then there's the record student loan debt The solution to their problems may come from the lower cost of living, limitless career opportunities, and more meaningful connections found in rural America. This book shows them how.
