I dread the day that I'd be forced to move out of NYC. Driving all over the place, sitting in my boring living room because everywhere is too damn far to walk, looking forward to the weekend trips to target or Walmart.
They can leave but I imagine that employment is a big factor.
No its not. If you really want to leave, save up your money, QUIT your job in NYC, and move to wherever you want to. And then get a job there. Its THAT EASY!!!
Actually the real reason why many of these threads get made is because people realize they can't make the amount of money they need to in order to live their ideal lifestyle in NYC, so they move elsewhere with a lower COL, and then get all resentful and think we all deep down inside want to leave too. Smh.
In other words, they are projecting their own issues out on other people.
Ahh yes, the good ole' days. Paying a lot for a studio without any amenities and having to board the crowded train with rude people pushing and shoving. Dammit I miss those days!!!
We know NYC is not perfect for everybody. It's okay if you think other cities fits your life style more, and
you enjoy your time better there than in NYC. But for you to assume everyone else who choose to stay
because they can't leave sounds like sour grapes to me.

As I started to approach 30, I could no longer deal with the fact that I was living in a very small apartment and had to lug my clothes to the laundromat or pay a lot of money to have the laundromat wash and drop off my clothes each week. I also hated having to deal with the attitudes that seem to be very specific to the region.
Deep down I knew that I deserved a better lifestyle, but I didn't want to move to the deep South or the middle of nowhere (plus I had to go where the lucrative offer was), so the DC metro area was my best option, to finally have the opportunity to live like an adult.

That's bad advice, especially in this economy. I wouldn't advise anyone to relocate without having a job lined up, unless they are an entrepreneur.

LOL, I have my own private parking spot in my building and the metro is right across the street. The ride into DC is less than 10 minutes. There are no walmarts or big box stores here. Have you ever visited the DC metro area?
