Do you like where you are currently living?

I live in NYC. Been living here since 1994. I am currently 30. I use to love living here but not anymore. Frankly, with rising rent, over population, hipsters and gentrification, this city is becoming for the rich. Due to the cost of living the homeless rate has gone up. I feel things will get worst in the years to come.

This city has become really overrated and not worth living here anymore in my opinion. Many of my friends who've moved out have become really successful. I plan to follow in their footsteps soon. I work as graphic designer making 40k per yr. We work for many real estate companies, designing floor plans, banners, books etc.... the prices they are charging for apartments are mind blowing. Speaking of which, there're apartment buildings and condominiums going up everywhere in the city.

I have love for NYC but I can't stay here anymore.

I’m sorry to hear that! I hope you find a place better suited very soon. I live in southeast Minnesota and I like it here. It’s still just a little wild feeling and very pretty. 🙂

@JustNik Sweet, one of my friends actually lives in southwest Minnesota and has been begging me to move there. That's my first option at the moment.

@kydflash well it will certainly be a slower pace than you’re used to! LOL good luck to you! 👍👍
