[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here.  In a way it is  materialistic.  I definitely don't need more ( I don't need what we have now), but is it wrong to experience more if it is possible?  Technically we could retire comfortably now, but I am 35.  Do I want that? does anyone?

And believe me, I am aware of the wealth in other places.  There will definitely be plenty of people much wealthier, but it would be a nice life that doesn't really exist here.  Basically an experience few are fortunate enough to experience.  If we don't care for it, we can leave.

With the kind of net worth you have, if changing careers will make you happy, then change careers; it's not like you're working to pay the mortgage at this point. What kind of work do you do now, and what would you want to do in NYC? Is whatever you'd want to do, only available in NYC? Do you want to be in Manhattan to try out a different profession or a different lifestyle or both? If the career thing is too much of a hassle or if it'll take time to figure out, I think it would be wise for you to buy an apartment in Manhattan, furnish it, and spend whatever time up there that you want; even if it turns out that you're not there often/end up not caring for that life -- you can always keep it as an investment property or just sell it.

As someone who lives in NYC, it sounds like you may just want the "energy" of the place -- which is different than DC, but I'm not sure if I'm reading it right.[/quote]
