I live in the Midwest. I have a yard, a garden, live across the street from a park. I can still walk to bars, restaurants, grocery stores. I live in a cute 1920s brick bungalow and it cost less than 250k. Obviously NYC is incredible, but there’s more out there!

Read a Great article on how density doesn’t mean destiny and with appropriate measures in place (and people following them), experts say a city vs suburb aren’t much different in terms of safety. You can go to a suburb and all it takes is 1 person to be reckless/inconsiderate/irresponsible and spread the virus in grocery stores etc. Hospitals in small towns don’t have capacity to deal with multiple patients that require ventilators. Aside from that, suburbs and other states do have more affordable housing with larger space. Just make sure that’s what you want. NYC will get back to normal next year by this time, seems far away but time passes quickly. Rent has dropped so I’m personally considering higher end apartments for a better deal!

I've been thinking about my career a lot lately. I feel like I've hit a wall, and I don't know how to get past it.

I've been at this job for almost 5 years now, and ever since the day I started, there have been problems with my coworkers. It's not just one person—it's everyone in my department, and they all seem to be working against each other instead of together. Should I leave?
