is an NYC move still worth it?
I (26F) have done 7 trips to NYC in the past year and love it. I love the energy, the sense of community, talking to strangers, the spontaneity, not knowing who you’ll meet or where you’ll end up when you walk out the door, etc.
Here’s the thing: I don’t drink, don’t really party, I don’t like spending much money shopping or eating out. I have a horrible sense of style. I don’t have a musical talent or act. Im not an artist. I will say that i am extroverted and make friends easily. — at the end of the day, Im just a regular person who loves big cities, human connection, being a part of a community and walkability. My company is based in NYC. I am fully WFH with the option to work in office a few days a week if I move if I want.
As you all know, it’s a very expensive city. I have an apartment option lined up that they’re just waiting for me to sign for. The rent is at the top of my budget.
I’m just wondering, in your opinion, is living in NYC and paying NYC prices worth it if you don’t really do any of the above?
