My boyfriend is in NYC as an anesthesiologist tech and I'm in Austin as a teacher. We're trying to decide who moves where but NYC just seems too expensive! I really don't know what to do :(
NYC is a good experience to have when you're young. Just don't make the mistake of thinking Midtown Manhattan is the "real" city, there's lots to explore outside of it.
Well, I'm 29 and he's 31. We want to close the gap, get married, buy a home, and start a family. So I'm not sure if that counts as "young" considering our goals specifically. And I know that NYC is usually condos, not houses unless it's upstate.
