Also it harkens back to a time before this place was deluged by housing lottery threads
Agree. This thread has so much meaning in so many ways I had to laugh when I saw it get bumped again.
On top of everything else the OP actually did leave NY in disgust but wound up coming back a couple of years later and was more successful with her NY experience the second time around and is still here. Matter of fact she has been posting on this forum again very recently but under another name .

I think she left and then started bellyaching even harder about how much Michigan (I think it was) sucked and came crawling back. No pleasing some people.
i live in a town the opposite of nyc. Palm Coast fl. Extremely quiet, cheap rents of overbuilt foreclosures. Though i love the quiet, i am bored. i have a cousin in East Flatbush who says i can stay with her for cheap. i have a degree in IT, BUT only a couple years experience. Still i hope to find work in nyc while enjoying some of the amenities. I plan to explore all the tourist favorites and eateries until I find a good agency for contract jobs, and go on to make great $$$ (hopefully).
with this money i hope to buy a home in a quiet suburb, and enjoy the city occasionally. Any suggestions on the best way to find such jobs? I would prefer temp high-paying jobs as i want to take time off to explore creative outlets, like writing or documentary filmmaking. This may be a big dream, and I may end up clinging to the first good job i get, too afraid to leave and get a freelance career like mdude in this thread. But that still would be less boring than this extremely quiet town i now live in!
Yes, this illustrates how people doing a dollars and cents evaluation of NYC alternatives only realize too late the value of intangibles, like the high innate cost of CRUSHING BOREDOM.
For me, the realization of the horror would come at about the hundredth time I had to get into my car to buy a gallon of milk.
I want my own bedroom and I want a garden for my green thumb but I must ask myself HOW MUCH do I want these.
