[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just got back from NYC where I was helping my DD move in. We went grocery shopping and the bill came to $260, which is more than I usually spend for our family of 4 for a week! A pound of Starbucks coffee cost $22. Here it is $12.
This morning we went out for breakfast, bill came to $75 for 2 people, we each had eggs. She also had a lemonade.
My point is that absolutely everything in NYC is super expensive. I can totally see where she is coming from. But yes, don’t have 3 kids if you can’t afford to.[/quote]

The issue is posters here think those prices are acceptable and even encouraged. That the expense is a sign of sophistication and being an urbane city resident. New York City has many policies that make life unbearable for its productive families that don’t make several million a year. The city should be doing all it can to keep the Redditor and her three children within the city limits. [/quote]

She can be within city limits.  She just feels like she’s better than people in Queens and Brooklyn.    [/quote]
