[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wouldn’t bother. I have always wanted to live in Manhattan or Brooklyn, but I don’t get why living in the burbs with three kids would be better than living here? We don’t make it into DC that much, I am sure NYC would be the same. I would hunker down here for a few more years, and when the kids are gone you can do whatever.[/quote]

[b]Senior level jobs are pretty competitive and you might miss your window when the kids are gone off to college and you are 52… [/b]

Of course if you work to live, then I agree. 500k is more than enough.[/quote]

I will echo this.  We don't have enough information.  Are you at a ceiling comp wise here?  Do you have family in/around the NY tri-state area?  How many days in the office?  Is DH cool on shouldering the burden of kids since you'll have a commute?

I personally hate DC, my family is further north, and I wish I'd moved because I have a definite ceiling in my career here and my career is important to me.  I am also cool with public schools, and know there are some good ones in the NY suburbs.

Don't forget to consider the taxes in whatever math you do.  Both NY and NJ have higher state income taxes.  CT not as bad.  I believe RET in all three are higher, but if you use public schools, you can consider it tuition. [/quote]
