Date: October 23rd, 2024 10:27 AM Author: Soren "Bob" Odenkierkegaard NYC for sure -- no matter how much money you have - the people in LA are soulless and you'll have trouble having a real social life/group. It's a far more transient city than NYC and the local's social groups and hierarchy are already baked in.
If you want 180 weather and outdoor shit to do, LA is it, but if you want to make friends and have lots of casual sex NYC is better |

Date: October 23rd, 2024 6:55 PM Author: enrique There is a ton of shit to do man. Any weird niche you’re into you can find a community for that
Nyc is the only place in the US where you can live like you’re 20, well into your 30s and 40s and it’s totally normal |

Date: October 23rd, 2024 10:49 PM Author: Fyre festival founder This is CR. I say this as an LA-mo too. NYC is second to none for a single dude who is still in the socializing/party stage of life (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5616523&forum_id=2...id.#48233326) |

Date: October 23rd, 2024 10:31 AM Author: enrique i can afford it brother, but is it worth the cost vs. balling out in like Houston or something? that is an totally different question
LA seems like a big headache, getting around and owning a car. its taxes and demographics are worse than NYC. why not MFH? |

Date: October 23rd, 2024 10:49 AM Author: Salivary Stoned (xoentlaw@gmail.com) LA/CA weather and nature is second to none. Depends on how active you are, really, and how much cash you can burn.
NYC is a nice visit, but living there full-time seems fucking atrocious.
I'd choose London over NYC if you have cash. I just got back from Greece, heading on a surf trip to Morocco after Christmas. Back to US in Feb, then Berlin for work then back to London. Cannes / French Riviera in May.
Unless you're a finance bro stuck on the golden handcuffed concrete island, why choose NYC?

Date: October 23rd, 2024 10:53 AM Author: enrique sounds fun. does constantly traveling get lonely?
tons of cool shit to do by foot/metro. only city in the US. food, culture, history, easy hot women. |
|
Date: October 23rd, 2024 11:07 AM Author: Salivary Stoned (xoentlaw@gmail.com) Not lonely. Most of those trips are with my wife and/or friends, or visiting family back home. Greece was a 4 day trip - being here means flying to Morocco only take 3 hrs. I have a solid life here with more friends who actually do things together than I really thought I'd have at my age.
Instead of the town center with the Walgreens, Target, Starbies, Chipotle and Albertsons being your big Saturday out (1hr in traffic each way, plus 30 mins finding a spot not taken up by a raised pickup parking across 4 spots, all for the BIG SHOP) - you can use functional public transportation to get to the airport in less than an hour and be pounding beers at the Hofbräuhaus in München in less than 4 hrs door to door (almost), laughing with dirndl cladded bartendresses at the suckers in the US still stuck in traffic. |
|
Date: October 23rd, 2024 12:27 PM Author: enrique would you live the same lifestyle if you were single? why not just move back home - it sounds more 180 and cheaper
traveling all the time seems great, but i think for most people they need a home and a routine. they need to develop connections and foster them etc. im always hesitant about the "leave the country" advice, because almost all ex-pats usually return to their homeland |
|
Date: October 23rd, 2024 6:32 PM Author: Salivary Stoned (xoentlaw@gmail.com) If i were single I'd probably travel on more surf trips, but life would look pretty similar. I love my house in London and have a 180 routine with this dude - https://imgur.com/a/JZCWoGy - I'm in London probably 2/3 of the year. Travelling is 1000% easier here than in the US. It's not a huge trip to go to Amsterdam or Paris or Belgium, Morocco or Greece. Instead of going to the jersey shore for the weekend, I can fly 2 hrs to Portugal, or take the ferry to Spain and bring my hound.
I love a lot about the US, but living back home full time doesn't really seem healthy for most people and not for me. My quality of life is so much better outside of the US. Work/life balance etc. just can't be replicated back in the toxic cesspit.
Our closest friends here just had their first babby - wife walked over to their house this afternoon and made a big dinner for everyone. After I finished up work, I walked over with the hound and we had a wonderful dinner together. After we ate I had my goddaughter on my chest telling her all the ways i was going to spoil her over the years while her mother got a few minutes for herself. Our community here is surprisingly strong and I didnt expect it to be when we first moved. I did the dishes for them and then wife and I hightailed it to the pub for a nice pint before we walked back home together.
I fly back to see my father and fam 2-4 times a year (i try for at least 3) so I'm not totally removed from the homeland. I'm so glad when I land in the US and so fucking happy when I fly back and hear the captain say we're beginning our descent back into London.
Just because you dont live in the country full time anymore doesnt mean can't visit for weeks at a time. My father says he sees me more than he used to when we lived in the same state. And when I am there, we spend actual quality time together. It's just different. |

This is cr. I moved cross country from mine and I hear the same. Have to be intentional about it, but when we do spend time together, we make it count vs. some obligatory Sunday dinner when everyone is stressed and just wants to get it over with and wife is giving you evil eye to gtfo. |

do you want a wife and kids? if so, go to the south. dallas or atlanta or something. you can be a big fish there with a few million and solid income

assuming 5% a year return on 10 million dollars - that 500k is getting used up awfully quick living in LA

OP said "successful" so im gonna assume he's got at least 3 million and makes way more than he spends. thats fine for a single guy who wants to keep working in a HCOL locale |
