I was 26, had just graduated law school and was just barred. I started my own virtual firm. I moved because Covid had destroyed nyc, the government was trash, crime was very bad, I couldn’t see myself raising a family let alone saving enough to buy a house.

Financially I couldn’t make it work, was too expensive and frankly always felt poor. 200k is nothing in nyc. I hate to say it but it’s nothing. I now have my own firm, expected to clear just south of 1 mill this year.
