I live in Manhattan in a pretty small place with my girlfriend. I have been here for about half a year now, and it is just a different way of life. I don't imagine I will live in the city for more than a few years, but it is an experience like no other. I was paying a third of what I am now for twice as much space while living in rural Virginia, but that also meant chain stores and fast food. I eat at amazing and inexpensive restaurants all the time here, shop in incredibly diverse grocery stores, and work in a great environment. I think the difference in rent money is about equal to all of the money I had to spend on owning a car and driving everywhere in the suburbs. I'd live in one of the outer boroughs, but I just love being able to walk to work.
