[quote=Anonymous]I did not grow up in NYC, but my brother did, our parents moved here when we were 19 and 11, LMC, Brooklyn. I stayed and have been raising my kids here (2 are already done with college, one is still in school), in the same neighborhood which gentrified quite a bit since we first moved in. I did a quick tryout of suburbs when my first kid was born but came back because I am very much a city person. I hated the commute which was amazing by NY standards, hated driving everywhere, hated how quiet it was. However, I wasn’t bothered by the 5 of us living in 1300 sq feet as long as the other things fell into place. I sold my car a year after we moved back to Brooklyn and never looked back. You can be very happy in the city on a much less than a Big Law income, but you have to appreciate the city for what it is and what it gives you. Ditto for the suburbs. You can be really happy or unhappy in either - it all depends on you and your priorities.[/quote]
