I have spent the summer in NYC with my sister & her family. At first I was like "Eww" but now I'm warming up to the idea of moving here.
The Pros: My depression gets so much better when I'm around family. It's a "fresh start" after a really hard year. I can help my sister out with her baby. It's a lot of stress and I want to support her as much as I can.
It will also get me closer to fulfilling my lifelong dream of being a fancy old lady
The cons are that it's a very expensive lifestyle. I will just barely be able to live comfortably in Manhattan. Lots of places do not accept dogs for some reason (?) Lots of Libs (so same as Chicago) and apparently men punch women on the subways.
Should FroCho bite the bullet and move:

Most important thing is to make sure you are being paid more in your new nyc job otherwise lifestyle inflation will hot fast. As someone who is still young enough to be making 5 figs shities are pretty much out of the question. I really hope i can get a job in a small town around 20 minutes away from a city because mason-Dixie cities like Cincinnati, Louisville, Lexington, Columbus, Indianapolis ect are getting so bad now just blocks of desolation row and vagrants sitting on curbs and asking you the time hoping youll pull out a phone and they can easily snatch it.
