“New Yorkers think an interesting life is more important than a happy life. What you really pay for with the exorbitant cost of living and the hard lifestyle is to be surrounded by strong performers, huge ambitions, and constant need for change and innovation. To live in New York City, you have to trade happiness for this. To most New Yorkers, it’s a no-brainer. They would take that trade any day. To most people outside of New York City the trade-off is crazy.”
I do, until I start thinking of my childless life at age seventy-five in NYC. Unless you have family here, I imagine it could be a lonely place to live in the later years. And knee replacements would not fair well in a fourth floor walk-up, but then again NYC is all about staying in the moment, so I’ll go back to not thinking about the far off future. No regrets!
