[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unless you felt like a fish out of water in NYC I would predict a bumpy transition.

There are lots of folks who have lived all over the place reading posts like yours; if you could name the location you're considering you may find more specific helpful advice.[/quote]

That is an inaccurate statement and an ignorant "generality".

I was born and raised in DC, and have always loved NYC specifically because of the hustle and bustle.  Then DH got a job in one of those "flyover cities" that everyone around here loves to hate... :roll:  :roll: ....and not only was the transition very easy but we acclimated very quickly and fell in love with the place.  We made great friends, life was slower, our money went much further and our taxes were way lower.  Than DH got a big promotion with that same company that required a move back to DC.  At first we thought it would be easy to come back because it was so familiar to us, and its where we were from, friends and family there etc. Wrong answer.  We lasted 2 years in DC after our 5 year stint in that "flyover city" because we got a taste of what it was like to live in such a wonderful, calm and inviting place.  After 2 years we sold the DC house, changed jobs and moved back.[/quote]

+1 much rather hang out with my Wisconsin friends than rail thin NWDC lawyer mom agonizing over whether Sidwell or GDS would be more likely to get her snowflake into Harvard...[/quote]
