[quote=Anonymous]I would move to NYC for only a little more than what you are currently making but I only have one kid. We love NYC. But I'd bank on doing private all the way through for all kids. Maybe you get away with magnets for one or two but I wouldn't count on it. School is really hard in NYC and is the primary thing keeping us away.

But I also don't know what your standard of living is or what you want it to be. We'd be perfectly happy living in a 2 bedroom apartment in Brooklyn or Manhattan, no car, and cooking at home quite a bit. But again -- one kid. And her college is mostly saved for already.

We would spend a lot of money on museums and dance and theater. I'd also definitely spend more on clothes than I do currently because I love fashion and the standards are higher in NYC and I would want to keep up (but also it's easier to dress well on a budget there because the shopping is so much better). We'd be fine giving up some space and a car-dependent lifestyle. We like the subway and walking.

I don't know, I think it mostly depends on whether you are NYC people or not. I tend to think if you have 3 kids you may not be. Nothing against having a big family, just that the city is not conducive to larger families at all so I would wonder if other aspects of your lifestyle wouldn't work there either.[/quote]
