Definitely if you live outside of a major metropolitan area
The trick is to make metropolitan area levels of money while living elsewhere. I don't know how you pull that off short of hanging on to a really good remote job, of which there are a finite number.
Most companies adjust pay based on where the worker lives. That's what happened to me when I went remote. Took a 30% pay cut.
Long commute. Before I was remote I drove 45 minutes each way. But you gotta do what you gotta do, it was good money and really good cost of living. Got a nice 4 bedroom with 2.5 acres for $155k.
Sales bitch.
