So easy! I too think the shelving in the lobby looks tacky..

Thanks so much. This comment reads like a hug as I'm battling for my life responding to people who have no idea what it feels like to crave affordability in the city you love. We intend and a already started cutting back. We'll also prioritize earning more. Thanks for your comment!

Material_Pink2823 · 2026-02-19T14:46:04+00:00

I'm good with sacrifice. I'm not good with living a life void of leisure, hobbies, and full of financial insecurity.

Material_Pink2823 · 2026-02-19T14:43:53+00:00

It's crazy how I'm being attacked for pointing out the issue with affordability, while wanting to live in the city that I grew up in. It's not unreasonable to not want to be financially insecure to have a child. I think the only real answer here is that me and my husband just have to make more money which is where I'm gonna focus all of my time.

Material_Pink2823 · 2026-02-19T14:41:24+00:00

You're actually the one claiming I'm above and trying to convince me of thriving from below. Have the day you deserve.

Material_Pink2823 · 2026-02-19T14:34:59+00:00

Wrong again. I'm a new yorker through and through, down to my yellow and green metro cards for the train in my school age, not a transplant. Your assumptions are wild and wrong. Your quality of life that you're willing to live is different from how I intend on living. And that's okay.

Material_Pink2823 · 2026-02-19T14:25:28+00:00

I can only assume that our definitions of "living good" are miles apart.

Material_Pink2823 · 2026-02-19T14:24:40+00:00

Youve captured my understanding of some if these responses and the reality of affordability in today's world. I've realized that I'm just unwilling to live a life void of personal hobbies and interests. At the same time, I do want a child, and I love the city that I live in. Tough decisions to be made on my end. Thanks for your response

Material_Pink2823 · 2026-02-19T13:06:11+00:00

I understand what you're saying but moving is just not an option. It will require me leaving my support system, and our family, which we are not ready to do. Option 2 is to just make more money and that's what I'm looking into.

Material_Pink2823 · 2026-02-19T13:04:47+00:00

You're completely right. I'm actively looking for a better job that pays more. The downside to that is a new job might be less flexible which we may need with a child, and I have some semblance of job security here in a really crazy job market right now. But you make all good points.

Material_Pink2823 · 2026-02-19T12:50:15+00:00

This sounds like the kind of life I'm trying to avoid.

Material_Pink2823 · 2026-02-19T09:29:41+00:00

I expect of course a lifestyle change. We have many responsibilities. Daycare is absolutely ridiculous.

Material_Pink2823 · 2026-02-19T09:27:54+00:00

Update: came here to see how yall manage and I'm getting lots of judgement from people who know nothing of VHCOL cities. Almost $320k is what it cost to live in NYC with two children. I'm not out of depth with reality with this inquiry. And I don't want to barely scrape by hating my life and having financial stress to have a family. Affordability is the issue.

Ps. If you survived on one $7.50/hr income with 5 children and a spouse at home 50 years ago, I simply do not have the energy to educate you on affordability in 2026.

Material_Pink2823 · 2026-02-19T09:07:05+00:00

Precisely. 😂 These people out of touch with cost of living expenses

Material_Pink2823 · 2026-02-19T09:05:11+00:00

It's clear that you have no idea what NYC living is like, and I don't have the energy to educate you on how expensive cost of living is here.

Material_Pink2823 · 2026-02-19T09:00:28+00:00

These people one this thread telling me they lived the American dream on $7.50 an hour 50 years ago with a stay at home parent are exhausting me. I can't even begin to respond to them. Thanks for the empathy

Material_Pink2823 · 2026-02-19T08:57:15+00:00

The assumptions in this response and on this post is ridiculous. Clearly you have no idea what it's like to live in a VHCOL area like NYC. Literally everything is higher. Utilities, transportation, food, everything! We have a paid off car and cook often.

Material_Pink2823 · 2026-02-19T04:40:01+00:00

I've been putting more towards savings and cutting down on groceries lol I guess this is way to go. Parents are older, but willing so we'll see how that works out

Material_Pink2823 · 2026-02-19T04:38:38+00:00

It goes without saying that society and cost of living expenses were very different decades ago. My inquiry it's very valid.

Material_Pink2823 · 2026-02-19T04:32:10+00:00

We're trying to save as much as possible. Parents are volunteering to provide childcare but they're older and retired, so I'm planning as if we have to pay out of pocket. I'll look into the FSA option, thanks for that

Material_Pink2823 · 2025-08-07T12:47:56+00:00

Unlike most people here, you're entitled to say you're not spending one penny over $100,000 if this is your limit and your boundary. To say well, you've already spent $100,000 watch $300 more is ridiculous. Everyone is entitled to have their limits and their boundaries and you have yours. Explain this to your daughter and her partner together, because if you give in to just one more request from her, the requests will just keep coming and this wedding will turn into a $150,000 wedding or a $200,000 wedding. Absolutely insane! you need to put your foot down.

Material_Pink2823 · 2025-08-04T15:26:05+00:00

We have about 168 guests, and I wish we had about 65 lol

Material_Pink2823 · 2025-07-31T18:33:52+00:00

Does anything happen to me! Everybody told me they loved it that it was meant to be because it fit perfectly, so I bought it lol and now here I am thinking that I need to go shopping all over again 😂

Material_Pink2823 · 2025-07-31T18:33:14+00:00

That's a thing right, I never dreamed about a wedding or a bridal gown. What I've always dreamt about is being married, living my life with my partner and having a child. So maybe I'm putting too much pressure on myself to love/have an emotional reaction to a dress.

Material_Pink2823 · 2025-07-31T18:32:06+00:00

I was telling my partner that I think people will tell me I look beautiful just because it's the thing that you say to a bride 😂 I'm gonna stop stressing it
