Las Vegas- 20's
New York City- 30's
San Francisco- 40's
Las Vegas for my 20's because I would still be young and I could explore tons of possibilities.
New York City in my 30's for good work opportunities while still being near a lot of action and night life but in a more mature manner than my 20's counterpart and Las Vegas lifestyle.
San Francisco in my 40's because I'll probably have a family of my own at the time, and being around great schools in the Bay Area along with good weather for an aging person would work out nice. The night life and such would not matter at all, and I would have more time to finally enjoy natural beauty over party party party atmosphere!
NYC- 20's, to enjoy the amenities, nightlife, and vibrancy. Seems like the best city to be young and single.
Vegas- 30's, it is closer to my family in CA, which is important since 30's will be when I start my own family. Also the most affordable city of the three, which will be helpful when starting a family. Bad schools though, so wouldn't want to live here when kids are high school aged and need good prep for college.
San Fran- 40's, not too far from family, and a gorgeous city with lots to do. Expensive, but hopefully by my 40's, career will be better and will be able to afford San Fran area.
