Suburbs vs City Living
I was forced into the suburbs for almost a week due to bad weather and at the time I really liked it
However, I was in survival mode
When I went back to visit my fiance’s grandparents - I hated it
Everything in the entire area was still the same
Bad traffic
Have to drive everywhere
Everyone still at specs and watching the games
I was like this is not for me at all
The pros of the burbs is the cost is way cheaper
Food is seemingly free compared to the city
Booze is cheaper
Very little property taxes and houses are cheaper
However, every house looks the same
Super easy to get lost and turned around
People are friendlier but there is not as much money around
So not a ton of winners chilling out there and the ones who are have houses way out and that’s the second home
Most people are going to be forced into the burbs with the rising cost of prices everywhere
There will be a more city like feel and they are technically safer
There just is not much to do but play golf
Won’t find tons of people even playing tennis
It is really dead boring and logistically it’s a nightmare
If you want to come into town its anywhere from 30 mins to an hour in most areas in the US
Now for the cities you have a ton of different options
Country clubs, tons of restaurants, doctors all nearby, nightlife nearby, tons of hi rises, multiple gyms nearby, and pockets of nature
As you get older nature, doctors, and restaurants seem to be where you go
My masseuse is in walking distance
My girlfriends yoga studio is in walking distance
I have two restaurants in walking distance and about 30+ in a 5 minute drive
My building has a gym, pool, massage room, multiple courtyards, nice areas to work from, a party space or just a work area, which I am writing from right now
Tonite I am going to a fondue restaurant with my girlfriend and it’s about 15 minutes away
I can walk to nature
It’s very hard to beat
Logistics is not just good for meeting women but it makes your life 10x easier
My chiro is 10 minutes away and my ENT for weekly allergy shots is also ten minutes
In the burbs the nearest store is 10-15 minutes
Now for the cons of the city
It’s loud
It’s dirtier
It’s crime ridden and has effected very close family on multiple different occasions over the last 20 years
You have to be more vigilant
The schools are awful unless private
The air quality is dirtier and the people are less friendly
Prices are way higher and most people can only afford rent and even then
I’m staying in the city unless crime becomes insane and the people start losing their minds
If you are a young guy, keep renting
No reason to buy
Upkeep and maintenance isn’t worth the hassle or having rentors
Mortgage rates are way too high
You got to be adaptable
I’ve moved around my city 4 times keeping up with whatever lifestyle I am living at the time
Now if kids become part of my future, things will change
Still may rent a townhome just for more space
I love having a view but sometimes you have to compromise in life
You can’t have it all
Tough pill to swallow for people in their 20s and 30s as they were raised by boomers who had it all
Now with prices be out the wazoo it’s just not attainable unless you start a business and scale hard
Even then 80-90% of businesses fail
The product is the most important part
It’s why I created Hydr8
Everyone is dehydrated and the demand is huge in that area right now
It’s a slow process but it is a snowball effect and I keep making more sales every month
Just started hiring creators
Ecom is the easiest way to make money online but it is by no means easy
You have to figure everything out for yourself
It can be very overwhelming and you start questioning everything
If it works it can be one of the best things you can do
Then you can afford any house anywhere or multiple
You can start investing in the stock market or crypto
A 9-5 is a good safety net and you should keep it for as long as you can
You get good benefits and have structure in your life
But you will never have your own free time
Making tons of money to live wherever you want, travel whenever you want, workout whenever you want has it perks
You won’t feel like you have to go to the suburbs
You can live in a gated community in town with a guard
You can have your kids go to private schools
You can eat out whenever you like
You can pay for any health issues
You truly become time and money abundant thus letting you date more women to find a wife or girlfriend to start a life with
I hope everyone has a great week
