What town?

I suggest nest suite. It's not cheap but definetlty one of the best. Otherwise try simplisafe. ADT is a hard pass. I prefer DIY

Edison

I grew up in Edison. South Edison is about grittier than North Edison. A self install system might help with homeowners insurance rates. If it makes you feel better, do it. Good luck.

How do you deal with anxiety at work? I get very anxious when things are out of my control, and also when not being able to check emails 24 7. It always turns out things are fine and there was no need to be that anxious. I think I make this job even more stressful than it needs to be. Any advice?

Landed a job in NYC. As much as I want to live there and will be moving in with my partner I think the most financially savvy option is to live in Jersey city to save on the city tax. Both our salaries would definitely go up next year so moving to the city would be a huge possibility in 2022. Has anyone else started our in Jersey city first ? Is it worth it or should I just try to make it work in NYC ?
