Currently in DC, considering a move to NYC. Is the cost of living much different? I would imagine NYC is higher but is it a substantial difference? Single, no children. Thank you!

Rent is obviously the biggest difference, but yes, you notice in most things. Still worth the move I think.

I just did this move in Jan. I agree about rent. Also a huge (good) difference is convenience of things; subway takes getting used to; going out culture is different; meeting people might get harder but at least they won't hound you about what you do..I could go on

Thanks!

I’m so pumped for the long weekend next week!

I’m falling for my best friend. She uses “we” a lot when talking about her future. We spend a lot of time together. Which I asked her if we are spending too much time together. She said “she loves spending time with me”. She keeps dating men , I would hate to do anything to ruin our friendship. Not sure what to do. We have started sleeping together. I’m not making any moves because again I don’t want to ruin it.
