Living near the river can save money

[Starmix]

Living near a river can potentially lead to cost savings in various ways, depending on the location and lifestyle. Proximity to a river may offer opportunities for recreational activities such as fishing, swimming, or boating, reducing the need for expensive entertainment.

Rivers can provide a source of irrigation for gardens or small-scale agriculture, lowering water bills and grocery costs. In some areas, rivers may facilitate transportation via ferries or water taxis, offering an alternative to car ownership and associated expenses, depending on local regulations.

Also, homes near rivers may have lower property taxes compared to those in more urbanized areas, depending on local regulations. Rivers can also serve as a natural resource for renewable energy generation, such as hydroelectric power, potentially lowering electricity bills.

However, it is essential to consider potential drawbacks such as flood risk, insurance costs, and proximity to amenities when assessing the overall financial impact.

When I visited my cousin who lived near a huge river, I was so amazed and stunned when I saw the river. It was so wide and clear. I saw people planting vegetables at the edge of the river. Their products are healthy. I also saw many people washing clothes. Some kids swam in the shallow part of the river. It was indeed a very nice place.

It's actually a great place though and i might actually enjoy staying there for a few weeks but i don't think i will want to permanently.

I also cannot stay there for so long, only one day. I miss home when I go to another place. There are fireflies in the evening and that place was also surrounded by mountains. I am afraid to see or watch huge mountains hehe.

That was true for ancient people but not today. A lot of ancient civilizations were started in the river banks

Rivers exist so humans exist too near rivers It's not all the time stormy. Most of the time weather is good and friendly. Those with vast lands doing an irrigation system opt to live near a river.
