‘This is true luxury’: Woman Traded Mercedes and Started Living in the Countryside

Many people measure success in life by expensive cars, luxurious houses, or financial status. But a Malaysian woman proved that the real meaning of happiness is actually simplicity and peace of mind.

In a recent viral thread post, she told how she sold her Mercedes and Damansara Perdana condominium and is now spending the most peaceful time of her life in the village.

The freedom of a debt-free life

She wrote that she had to struggle to meet the car installment, maintenance, and fuel costs of about 2000 ringgit (SGD 615) per month.

Even when she sold the car, she had to pay an additional 25000 ringgit ($7694 SGD). In the end, she and her husband sold the condo and the car and moved to the village.

Now they use a small car (Axia), which was bought completely with cash. In her words, “Now there is no debt, no worries—this is true luxury!”

Peace and prosperity in village life

She said that now there is a rice field behind their house, and they spend their days in close proximity to nature. Leaving the hustle and bustle of the city and the pressure of debt, she is now enjoying every moment of her life.

In her post, she wrote, “Life is much better now, because you don’t have to work hard to repay your debts.”

Netizens’ Reaction

Netizens were impressed by the woman’s decision. Many said that a simple and peaceful life is a true blessing at a certain age.

Some commented that village life is also a kind of luxury, where people find true happiness in the open air and pure nature.

Others reminded that happiness does not only mean city or village—it depends on life’s priorities and mental peace.

This woman proved that the simplicity of rural life, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, has brought her true freedom. In today’s fast-paced world, her steps can be an inspiration for many who want to value happiness and tranquility more than luxury.
