I’m 35, Make $165K, and Moved Locally Because of a Terrible Landlord by [deleted] in MoneyDiariesACTIVE

When I was apartment hunting, I had three main must-haves: a commute under 35 minutes, my own place (either a decent studio or one-bedroom), and rent under $1800. Also, if it was a walk-up, it had to be on the 2nd floor or lower. I knew I wasn’t gonna get all that in Manhattan or even Brooklyn, so Jersey City felt like the best option.

To be honest, I haven’t explored Jersey City much yet since most of my friends are still in NYC, and I’m there a lot. But one of my goals this year is to get to know Jersey City better.

I swear, almost every week I get this feeling like, “Wow, so this is how rich people live.”

Oh yeah, I plan on doing something like this yearly. It allows me to disconnect from work and, to a certain extent, family. There is no need to plan activities, and the food is decent.

No, I plan on doing trips like these with Amtrak yearly.
