Bay Area.
People say it's expensive. So live in the east bay. It's closer to the office and much cheaper.

Like - It's cheap and I live in it. Dislike - People think the city is the reason they're lame. Make your decision off semi real factors - proximity to family, career advancement, access to friends.

What's ease of access and convenience constitute? Trying to understand what that actually is since I hear it all the time but my life's pretty convenient since a 15 minute commute to anywhere I want to go annoys me.

Good points. Thanks AS 1.

A working metro system. Obvs not as good as NYC but gets the job done better than most other cities

Pwc1 even if it's cheaper isn't it still expensive though? TM1 including your city would be helpful..

OP, I don't live in a major city but I'm 2 hours from D.C., Philly, and about 3 from NYC and my wife and I discuss this all the time since she wants to live in a major city.

Still didn't saw the name of the city though

York, PA . You'll probably have to google it.

Lol why would you assume that? 🤔 maybe cause I live near Baltimore but York is not as unpopular as you think

As accountants, you are aware that printing endless amounts of money and government spending results in inflation and lower value of the dollar, right? Yes, there are other influences of inflation, but that is the main cause. Is anyone else bothered that there is no one within our industry ringing the alarm bell at the recent government spending that has been damaging for the people it was meant to support? Where are the fiscal responsibility advocates?
