[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Congrats to your husband!  This is a great dilemma to have!  All of this advice is spot on.  You can make this move and definitely have more money than you do now.  Downside? You will lose time with your husband.  Commuting from the city to the suburbs nets out at 1.5-2 hours EACH way. I think you'll gain as far as quality of life goes. I've lived here with my husband and daughter for 6 years. In McLean. We lived on the upper east side of Manhattan for 6 years and spent time in the suburbs.  I also worked in Stamford, CT.  Honestly? The villages in the tri-state area are more sophisticated than what we have.  Plus, you'll have access to Manhattan.  Speaking of which, the chance to live in Manhattan is not to be missed.  Of the places I've lived (SF, LA, Newport Beach, Silicon Valley, Philly, here) I would go back to Manhattan in a second.  I'd happily give up our cars again, all this stuff and go back to that life.  You might want to consider it.  People do live there on $500K.  Check out apartments on Zillow.com between the Park and 3rd Ave from the mid 60's to the low 80's. Maybe you need too much square footage for your budget.  If you can make the numbers work, you'll see more of your husband and have the time of your life.  Plus, you'll be surrounded by the best doctors in the country in that neighborhood for your health problems.  Best of luck whatever you decide.[/quote]

No comparison, OP.  GO![/quote]
