You're 29, make ~$160k and need to relocate ATL, NYC or Boston, which do you pick?

[AWSbruh]

now? ATL till things are normal so for another year. Save up and get ready to dance with the big leagues in NYC.

After the pandemic NYC. Just lol at miscers saying 160k is not enough for a single bachelor brah. what you are guys spending it on? taking dates to Masa or Eleven Madison Park or The Ritz or Le Bernardin every weekend? in what world is 160 usd not enough for a single brah. OP can easily get a roommate or live in queens or Brooklyn while living in a fun city.

Lol at making 160 K in NY and living in a 1 bedroom studio. Anywhere else that salary will get you a mansion. You won’t even get approved for an average house which is around 1+mill in NY

[dmaaack]

Boston. By far.

Lol if op can keep that salary where ever he moves , he should move to the greatest city in America

Sandy ****ing eggo (Ded fukn srs)

Lol @ moving to a commie state with zero pros and all of the cons like NY

lmao @ NyCels srs

Sandy eggo is literal paradise on earth if you have the money to sustain yourself here

There’s something here for everyone and after you’ve been here awhile it’s really hard to leave if you don’t ever see yourself having a family or ever needing a big house

San Diego moggs both Atlanta and NYC by 1000x

Boston by like , maybe 10x but Boston is still a pretty sick city and I’d live there on a good salary

Florida>>>>>>>>New York

San Diego and OC >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> anywhere in America’s penis

[GuineaDago585]

ATL is cheapest for a reason – it’s a chithole.

I’d probably pick NYC because your options are endless. You can live in a luxury condo in Manhattan, a Brooklyn brownstone, a single family home in Queens or a McMansion on Staten Island. Just don’t go to the Bronx lmao. If we include suburbs, the Hudson Valley mogs any of the surrounding areas of Atlanta and Boston. It’s not even close.

Boston is a great city too, I just don’t think it measures up to New York. Too expensive, colder and the people are less friendly/fun.

[dogorman7]

dont you live in the back of your van?

Inaccurate and way outdated statement


But


Van dwelling in San Diego >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 160k in NYC or ATL

[FChumChum]

NYC is dead right now.

Boston fcking sucks.

So ATL.

[Tanerian]

I quit my job. Oof those choices are harsh af.

[DustinTheHuss]

ATL of course.

[darscogre]

Hypothetically speaking

LOL NYC......160k and you're welfare status here in NYC

[eatmycrackers]

Moving to NY likely end of this summer similar salary

Seems like it would be the most enriching as a young guy

I saw that thread the other day about ATL guys on the down low or whatever not trying to get raped lmao

Boston sucks not same tier as NY still high cost of living and colder. I pick NY for the variability none of the other two can offer

[elterrible987]

math says otherwise

those broke fuks at the bottom get special housing and benefits, you as a working class pleb wont get chit. yeah you can technically be "upper middle class" but you pay out the ass paying full rent in nyc or taking hours long train rides every day. then NYC has the audacity to add a city level income tax, plus NY state income taxes. fuk all that, they are taxing you to subsidize the rent of the bottom plebs in section 8 housing. Of those 3, I would take atlanta for sure

[jafomofo]

boston. atlanta has little to offer in terms of city amenities. nyc is a sewer

[CremeFraicheBro]

Boston or ATL

Boston has great history, is close to cape cod for hnnnggg summer activities. Sports, tons of university chicks around, close to Berkshires, Vermont and Maine, goat seafood.

ATL best cost of living, closish to outdoor activities, airport means you can get a flight literally anywhere and all the time, better weather, still has sports, South East is generally better than the North East, gonna have better tax situation too vs Taxachusettes

[anonymous]

Gross, none of those. Winter is chit in the north and summers are disgusting in ATL, also the crime in NYC and atl and high cost of NYC and Boston

[Harry362]

Atlanta easily


Get a townhouse in Buckhead and a weekend cabin in Blue ridge. Great food scene in ATL and can drive to some awesome southern cities

[BrightThru2014]

Charlotte.

[Winston56432]

vancouver canada

its land of milk and honey

[MisterDiapers]

Austin or Miami

[BigElephant]

Wouldn't relocate. I'd stay at my current position or find another job where I'm at now.

[DrumsNotDead]

ATL because it's the closest to Florida.

[BuckNakedinBama]

ATL has better cost/standard of living on that money, better women, better weather. Transportation is a b*tch tho.

[HYDRAE]

If I had to choose, probably Atlanta, but all three are not high on my list.

I'd go with somewhere in the goldilocks climate zone like Charlotte, Nashville, Louisville that aren't megacity hell holes if you have the choice.

[Assassin X]

Lol at NYC Hawaii is probably cheaper

[PepperedAngus]

out of those chitholes I guess Boston would be the only choice. NYC is possibly one of the worst places on earth, and Georgia doesnt even count as America anymore.

[Azzurri]

ATL because weather.

[imbeingcereal]

If you want to flex/ball out, ATL is the obvious choice. I lived there on around $110K and still felt like a fking king there because COL is so low for a major city. That said, I wasn't personally a yuge fan of the South. The city is super sprawled out and everybody in the south was basically the same to me. The people with decent jobs were usually WASPy, ex-SEC frat stars whose entire personality consists of golfing in pastel polos + college football and the rest of the place was full of people with make-shift jobs or hyper liberal, ghetto people.

You're not going to be balling on $160K in NYC, but you'll be more than comfortable, plus the city has a unique energy/vibe that maybe a few places in the world can replicate. Plus, there's so many different people/personalities out there that make it special. You've got the same finance bros from down south, but you also have people in film, media, artists, foreigners from all over the world trying to make it, etc. The place was really cliquey too and I found it harder to make friends/meet people. If you're legitimately making $160K though and get plugged in socially, you'll do well with women because they're still raised to be a bit more traditional and are attracted to dudes that make good money unlike cities up North.

The worst choice is Boston. I actually liked a lot of aspects of the city, but it's only a bit less expensive than NYC but is colder, smaller, and won't have the same job opps/social life, unless you're in a niche industry like healthcare/pharmaceuticals.

TL;DR I'd go NYC Queens/Outer Boroughs > ATL > Manhattan >>> Boston. If you just want to ball out while still saving a fk ton though, ATL is the obvious answer.
