In my opinion, nice to have, but not absolutely needed. It also depends on the areas and even street you live on.

No. Living in an urban city is already very safe, break ins are exceedingly rare unless you don’t lock your door at night or live on the ground level of an extremely sketchy neighborhood. My mother and I live in NYC and we actually opt to never lock the door during the day for our 22 years in NYC.

Obvi multiple factors eg affordability, availability wrt desired move-in dates, etc. but for my mental health, peace of mind and semblance of additional level of security, yes.

Part of My thought process was:
Q: would I regret living in a doorman building?
A: probs not

Q: would I regret NOT living in a doorman building?
A: probs, but I don’t think I want to find out

Signed: 30F living alone. YMMV

I’m (early30s) about 8 months into a relationship with a 40m. Things are wonderful in every aspect, but he is absolutely atrocious with his finances. I felt it becoming an issue about two months ago. He forgets about auto payments and just generally doesn’t care. I sat down with him and looked at everything and even after talking it out he still continues to stress and it’s now causing me stress. I had a final discussion with him today about it and he went on abt how love isn’t enough for me…

I have 2 questions 1) when does it make sense to prioritize workplace happiness/ balance over financial well-being? 2) if I go back on my offer acceptance should I consider that bridge burned?
