Anyone live up there? How is it? My wife used to fly up there often for work. She says it is nice. But she stayed there for business.
I have a job almost guaranteed, my wife would be in a similar position. We would both probably enroll in school again. I'm thinking MBA in Business, she would opt for Communications or Literature at the University at Buffalo.
I peeked at the homes, and they are not badly priced. I believe we would be able to afford something in the 180K - 230K range and still live without having to penny pinch.
How expensive do you think groceries and household things are compared to NYC?
I live in NYC currently. I grew up in Brooklyn, and have been living for the past 2 years in Queens, NY. Rent down here for a nothing apartment for us is about 1050. This is our first apartment together. Our debt (not counting the car) will be paid in full by June 08.
So I'm thinking of saving about 20-30 grand and moving up there.
How is the metalhead, rocker, goth, gamer population up there. Are people ultra religious? I heard the movement for secular humanism is up there too so maybe not too bad?
Living in NYC you can be anyone and no one really minds. We are not that conspicuous of a couple. Think James Hetfield (of Metallica) meets Tim Burton's The Corpse Bride.
Any advice would be cool.
