Should I move forward and get out of NYC?

I've been living in NYC for about 22-23 years now. I am 31, soon to be 32 and still live with my parents. Honestly I hate living here, NYC is not the same city it was before, even way before the pandemic. It's becoming more for the rich. To live comfortable here, you'll have to be making 6 figures and working your butt off. I am planning to move to Ohio, I like the state and it is affordable. I will get to keep my current job which is a plus. I know people who have moved down there and they have been urging me to make the move. Because the quality of life is just better. I feel like it is time for change, and Ohio will be a much better fit for me than NYC. I like NYC but it is really overrated. This city is not as great as people make it out to be. Great to visit, but living here is just too much. I have a little bit of money saved up, not a lot. But I feel it is the right move.

If you have a job guaranteed and you feel like it’s the right thing then goooo for it! It sounds like a good idea 😌

Ohio is not "down" from New York, it's west. Have a good time.

Me too Looking to move out of here

@Nobody00 Have you figured out where you want to move?

Nobody00 · F

@skip2mylou probably South Dakota. But I think Biden wants to relocate the incoming immigrants there ...so now I don't know what will happen

@Nobody00 Nice, how is South Dakota? don't know much about that state.

What's stopping you?

skip2mylou · 31-35, M

@Melpomene honestly, it's myself. I don't want to leave my friends and family. But I want to move out on my own. Something I won't be able to do in NYC.
