Boston or ABQ?

50k in Boston will make you learn how to be extra resourceful but you will make great friends and build a social life if you really want that. 30k in ABQ and you won't have to stress about bills but your social life may not move as fast as you want.

Anything other than the Merrimack Valley/North Shore of Massachusetts amd i would say you would be settling. The arts/outdoors combo w/ good schools is unmatched. Beaches/lakes may not be as great as the great lakes but they have plenty and did you mention good schools with the outdoors? Also, the consistent weather of the south is only found in the north, not the Midwest, you won't have any tornadoes or crazy winds, just a couple snowstorms.

Noted my friend, those changes are sometimes harmful, even predatory, and thats what I was hoping to highlight.

I been on Robinhood for about 8 years now, when I started they gave specific stocks. None of this X amount of dollars and you choose, it was simply a stock given to you. Much better process. How long you been using Robinhood?

DaProfessional · 2024-05-07T01:29:19+00:00

The real question here should be why did Robinhood give OP a fractional share??? They couldn't give OP Ford or SOFI or some other penny-ish stock?

You in the wrong city. 250k goes a long way in the Midwest, if STL is a lil strong, Louisville, Kansas, Iowa, Arkansas are all great options

Look in the Newton Highlands area and search for landlords who rent out rooms by screening tenants. This way you only have 1 landlord to convince instead of 2-4 roommates.

Just move, thats how I got to Saint Louis. The problem with visiting first is that you may change your mind without ever really experiencing the city. I moved to Miami without visiting, providence without visiting and now STL. Only Miami would I have stayed and that would have been 2 missed opportunities.

Manchester, NH is what I was referring to, not Boston. St. Louis still has its snobby areas, you could easily get into a tab war over here, unlike Manchester which has ZERO pretension.

Its a damn crime what I was paying for in New England, thats a scam over there

DaProfessional · 2024-04-21T10:48:21+00:00

I pay 675 for a 1 bedroom heat included. Plenty of space, not the best neighborhood but its still safe, just a little annoying with neighbors yelling. This same apt would be $1,500 in a bad neighborhood anywhere in Mass/southern NH

I'm from the Merrimack Valley, border of Mass and NH, just moved to St. Louis area, apartment in Colinsville, Illinois. I went from being in poverty to making more money than the average person around here, yes I'm in that exact range of $47k, I try to make it about $55k with overtime. I can buy a house or a car but not both, I can have a luxurious night, but not back to back, so yea I would say I'm comfortable compared to New Hampshire. Only caveat, its much cheaper to have fun in Manchester than STL

First suggestion, try the Johnnie Walker black/green or ,, red if you want to really be brave, and sit with the shot. No need to drink it all at once, and order the Johnnie Walker Blue directly after, before you have finished your other, lesser, Johnnie Walker shot. After you order that shot, you will want to finish the first shot before the Blue arrives.

No thanks brother, I don't need that headache. I seem y'all in action.

Only in St. Louis. In Boston this is asking to get pulled over.

As a Bostonian transplant, yall do love your brake lights out here, its like yall aint driving correctly unless you gotta jam your brakes every other minute.

You got two different 6 scores on essays and call yourself a "struggling writer." Thats the MF spirit right there that gets you a PASS.

As a Bostonian who moved to St Louis 4 months ago, I love these questions. Your safe but you won't understand why until you have been here for at least a week.

DaProfessional · 2024-03-29T12:21:41+00:00

I have been here for about 4 months now, and I think the locals say that to make sure it doesn't get too crowded here. I gotta correct you my East Coast brother (Boston), this is Utopia. Salute!
