That is partly due to his job though. Yes it obviously cuts housing costs (assuming that there’s sufficient housing, which I doubt would continue to be the case if more people do this), but your expenses don’t just disappear by moving to an island.

Hardly news that someone on a presumably decent salary given their line of work is able to live in a rural area and not worry about the cost of living. It’s also not surprising making a change that involves turning a cost that a person once paid into an externality is cheaper for that person.
