Absolutely. (33F) I want to experience living all over the world and eventually retire where there is sun, sand and clear blue water. 🏝 But for now, I’ll likely be here for the next 10 years building my retirement accounts and enjoying everything the city has to offer.

I would NEVER. Then again, I don’t want kids.

Only if it involved leaving America as a whole, but otherwise, NYC is great.

24m here — been here since I was 18 and yeah.. I can’t imagine raising little children here, so I’ll be heading somewhere that I can have a backyard in the next few years (LA probably).
I’m not even married yet lmao, but I don’t want to find the perfect woman and then have to convince her to move across the country, so I’m putting that off until I move out there.

Agreed but I have a job that allows me to move offices so if my fiancé got a job to move from NY to Cali it wouldn’t be a big deal for me since I can keep my job.

I’m not wealthy enough to raise kids here so

smart

I’ve considered it, but I’m not sure there’s anywhere else my husband and I would be content with both our jobs and the culture/lifestyle. We also just bought a co-op, so we’ve committed ourselves to staying a while. We’ll probably retire elsewhere, though.

London, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Seoul, Paris, Bangkok all comparable. I prefer London over NYC personally.

I moved and bought a home in Staten Island. love it here. Nice big backyard and great neighborhood plus lots of shopping and social things to do here. Still close enough to Manhattan and work.

I would move back home to Austin. Can’t bc my SO can’t find a comparable gig out there. We have a kid. Been in NYC 10 yrs for context.

For a long time, I couldn’t afford to move. Literally, check to check so 0 savings. Now that I kinda can, no other places feel good enough.
