[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is special about city life that's worth $1200 per month in wasted money down the drain?  I'd get fed up, leave and move to a low cost of living state/suburb.  $1200 per mo. is ridiculous.  You could easily use that to help max out your retirement accounts instead. [/quote]

Well, there's all the stuff that makes a city, you know, a city...

The proximity to bars, restaurants, museums, concerts, public transit, other people, etc.

$1,200 is a downright bargain in my opinion.  What good is $1,200 when you have to trade hours of your life in your car every day?  What good is $1,200 when the only place to spend it is Applebees and Sizzler?  What good is $1,200 when you can never have more than two beers when you go out or risk a DUI?  What good is $1,200 when you can't even enjoy your weekends because there's always a lawn that needs mowing or a house that needs fixing?  What good is $1,200 when all your friends live in the city and you never get to see them, and every "conversation" with the locals in your low cost of living one stoplight town is just you having to hold your tongue while they spew ignorant, racist, garbage?
