Try affording a place in NYC...:(

I looked into it in the late 80s, mid 90s and in 2001 prior to 9/11. It was a travesty then and even worse now. Restaurants, museums, celebrity sightings and theatrical productions no longer call me like they once did. The rest of the NYC stuff can be found in any other city.

My friend just recently bought a 1 bedroom apt 800 square feet for 700k. The prices here r insane

I need to gtfo of here

I was your age when I moved up to Westchester....it took a while to adjust, but it is a decision I don't regret. I can still easily commute into the city by car or train, but far enough away that I feel like I'm in paradise when I walk out the door of my house that doesn't cost like 6 million dollars if it was just 35 miles south.

I have a bunch of friends who moved to westchester and dont regret it. I dont think i can ever do it to be honest. I have a place here already but i was lookin to get a second. I doubt ill be able to pull it off anytime soon. Going back to ur earlier talks about working hard for if, i dont think it would be enough lol. Id be seriously drained and probably cant enjoy my life

I think our situations were vastly different, although maybe you did grow up in the projects in the Bronx as well....I don't want to assume anything. But I was a ghetto kid that had no family. I had to work like I did or I would have had no quality of life at all. You seem to be a very happy dude with a stable family and a great outlook. I just wanted a better life and to be happy.....you seem to be already there, so from where I'm sitting you are doing damn well.

Oh yea for sure we both grew up very differently. And how u lived ur life is very commendable and i would of done exactly the same in ur situation.

I just mean if let’s say i want to buy a second place, which is around a million to 2 million, no matter how much harder i work from my current, i dont think its going to be enough, or it would consume all my life and i wouldnt be able to enjoy it. Id b a zombie making ends meet just to afford it. But for what its worth i am pretty happy with my life right now. I do want to buy a second property but paying a mil just isnt going to be realistic for my life style. I guess i have to settle which im ok with.

But i still want to get a Lamborghini though (:

You are thinking just right in my opinion. Nothing beats quality of life. That really has been my point the whole time. If you are happy then all is well. Sure there may be something you want, but don't necessarily need so it's not worth being miserable trying to get. My view on life is, if it bothers you enough that it consumes any of your time and causes you to complain, take steps to change it. If it's just something you think about that you'd like to add to an already happy life, keep it on the back burner and maybe opportunity will rear it's head at a later date.

Hmmm, I have many brothers and sisters that I am still trying to find. Many may not even know I exist. Three of my sisters have found me through social media. On the subject of wealth...I grew up dirt poor. I escaped an abusive father by moving out at the age of 15 and supporting myself through high school. I later escaped an abusive husband and raised three children on one income. I have had 26 surgeries in 10 years due to a fall down my basement stairs but I still go to the gym and never give up. I am now college educated, supporting my two college aged sons, and am financially comfortable. Hard work and a determination to succeed is what got me where I am today. There was no divine intervention. There was no windfall.
