I am planning to move to NYC soon. Just got a new (remote) job with really solid total comp and I’m young and single and think the lifestyle there will be great for me for a few years. However, I can’t help but consider that I will prob save an extra ~$35k a year if I live where my family is located where there’s no income tax and where I’ll have much lower expenses. Is saving an additional 35k worth missing out on having a great mid-20s experience in nyc?

I can get to NY in 3 hours from the comfort of my suburban apartment. I then can crash for free on the weekends with friends and enjoy the lifestyle without shelling out NY rent.

Up to you, but personally I would find a lower cost of living city where you can get to NY but. It have to foot NY rent.

You could save that cash and travel the world on it.

Can you start by living in an Airbnb a couple of months to see if you like it? If you do, rent. If it’s not worth it, go home

what is your base pay? then we can tell you if you can actually enjoy living here.

Yeah you can enjoy it, might help if you can find a workspace out of your apt to feel like you’re really “in it” you might be frustrated in how much less your saving per month. Leases are 12 months generally so if it’s not for you than you can leave

smart

Are you good looking? Hate to be blunt, but plenty of rich average guys here who no one wants to date.

Ok then you’re good! Lol
