Should I move out of NYC?

Im 31 years old living in NYC with my parents. I want to move out this city so so bad. I've been wanting to move even before the pandemic hit. NYC is a great place to visit but not live. Honestly this place is soooo overrated. Unless you're making 6 figures, its not fun to live here. Plus to make 6 figures here, you basically gotta be a workaholic. I want to move to Ohio, I have family there and have been looking and apartments for rent. They are so affordable, I could pay my rent with a weeks pay. I am a graphic designer and my boss told me I can take my computer with me and work remotely from Ohio which is perfect. I would be giving up a lot of luxuries by moving though. After all NYC has many benefits, in that many things here are 24/7, plus there's a lot to do here. I feel it time for a change after spending about 20 yrs here.

I'd say go for it! Leave that stressful workaholic life.. and relax in a more tranquil affordable place. Especially with the pandemic going on we all can use some savings.

@AkAtSUki That's what I was thinking, all we do is work, work and work. And for nothing. Moving somewhere else would be a positive change. Thank you.

@kydflash Yeah it's like you work so much, and even if it makes you money, you don't even get the time to enjoy that. I moved from a big city too, from Chicago, to the Carolinas. I don't regret it one bit.

@AkAtSUki So true, I'll be definitely making the move out the city.
