OP can easily get a roommate or live in queens or Brooklyn while living in a fun city.
Lol at making 160 K in NY and living in a 1 bedroom studio. Anywhere else that salary will get you a mansion. You won’t even get approved for an average house which is around 1+mill in NY

Lol if op can keep that salary where ever he moves , he should move to the greatest city in America

Sandy ****ing eggo (Ded fukn srs)

Lol @ moving to a commie state with zero pros and all of the cons like NY

lmao @ NyCels srs

Sandy eggo is literal paradise on earth if you have the money to sustain yourself here

There’s something here for everyone and after you’ve been here awhile it’s really hard to leave if you don’t ever see yourself having a family or ever needing a big house

San Diego moggs both Atlanta and NYC by 1000x

Boston by like , maybe 10x but Boston is still a pretty sick city and I’d live there on a good salary

ATL is cheapest for a reason – it’s a chithole.

I’d probably pick NYC because your options are endless. You can live in a luxury condo in Manhattan, a Brooklyn brownstone, a single family home in Queens or a McMansion on Staten Island. Just don’t go to the Bronx lmao. If we include suburbs, the Hudson Valley mogs any of the surrounding areas of Atlanta and Boston. It’s not even close.

Boston is a great city too, I just don’t think it measures up to New York. Too expensive, colder and the people are less friendly/fun.

Moving to NY likely end of this summer similar salary

Seems like it would be the most enriching as a young guy

I saw that thread the other day about ATL guys on the down low or whatever not trying to get raped lmao

Boston sucks not same tier as NY still high cost of living and colder. I pick NY for the variability none of the other two can offer

Of those 3, I would take atlanta for sure

Boston or ATL

Boston has great history, is close to cape cod for hnnnggg summer activities. Sports, tons of university chicks around, close to Berkshires, Vermont and Maine, goat seafood.

ATL best cost of living, closish to outdoor activities, airport means you can get a flight literally anywhere and all the time, better weather, still has sports, South East is generally better than the North East, gonna have better tax situation too vs Taxachusettes

ATL has better cost/standard of living on that money, better women, better weather. Transportation is a b*tch tho.

If I had to choose, probably Atlanta, but all three are not high on my list.

I'd go with somewhere in the goldilocks climate zone like Charlotte, Nashville, Louisville that aren't megacity hell holes if you have the choice.

out of those chitholes I guess Boston would be the only choice. NYC is possibly one of the worst places on earth, and Georgia doesnt even count as America anymore.

If you want to flex/ball out, ATL is the obvious choice. I lived there on around $110K and still felt like a fking king there because COL is so low for a major city. That said, I wasn't personally a yuge fan of the South. The city is super sprawled out and everybody in the south was basically the same to me. The people with decent jobs were usually WASPy, ex-SEC frat stars whose entire personality consists of golfing in pastel polos + college football and the rest of the place was full of people with make-shift jobs or hyper liberal, ghetto people.

You're not going to be balling on $160K in NYC, but you'll be more than comfortable, plus the city has a unique energy/vibe that maybe a few places in the world can replicate. Plus, there's so many different people/personalities out there that make it special. You've got the same finance bros from down south, but you also have people in film, media, artists, foreigners from all over the world trying to make it, etc. The place was really cliquey too and I found it harder to make friends/meet people. If you're legitimately making $160K though and get plugged in socially, you'll do well with women because they're still raised to be a bit more traditional and are attracted to dudes that make good money unlike cities up North.

The worst choice is Boston. I actually liked a lot of aspects of the city, but it's only a bit less expensive than NYC but is colder, smaller, and won't have the same job opps/social life, unless you're in a niche industry like healthcare/pharmaceuticals.

TL;DR I'd go NYC Queens/Outer Boroughs > ATL > Manhattan >>> Boston. If you just want to ball out while still saving a fk ton though, ATL is the obvious answer.
