Imagine “expensive”, multiply by 2, recognise that NYC is still more expensive than that.

Boring answer, but tax stuff. Coming from Australia and working freelance I had no idea how complicated it would be. Feel like I've had to learn a whole new language with 1099 and W2s and stuff. Got really burnt on my first two years of tax returns. Looking at a pay stub and seeing all of the deductions is crazy!

Roaches and mice in apt complexes are common.

There is no perfect apt - you will have to sacrifice something from your wishlist (more space vs newer appliances, more space vs walk up).

You know it’s a walk-up if an elevator isn’t mentioned in the listing.

When you check out a place, see if you can find a tenant to ask how the living situation is. I saw an amazing apt but the tenant said the super and landlord don’t fix things, which confirmed why the main lobby was dirty. Some neighborhoods have active Facebook community groups so you can ask there if anyone lives in that building.

I see a lot of opportunities to do contract reviews or other corporate matters in states I’m not barred in. I don’t typically take those matters, but I’m curious what those rules are. I’ve definitely seen large firms handle out of state contracts and acquisitions all the time and I actually know other attorneys who do it too. I just haven’t gotten comfortable with that. Anyone have thoughts?

Looking for some advice. I'm 35 turning 36 soon. After 2 months of trying with my husband, I got pregnant. We were so happy until finding out 7 weeks later we miscarried. My doctor is telling me to wait another 6 months and keep trying. Then we would start looking at fertility and going down that route. It has been 2 months and haven't gotten pregnant (after the miscarriage). I'm thinking of setting up an appointment with fertility clinic now versus waiting another 4 months. Any advice for me?
