Living in New York, commute to CT
I am considering taking a job in Connecticut after having interned there this summer. I’m planning on living in Manhattan and commuting, and am trying to figure out where to live and also to plan a reasonable budget to be able to save, pay off some student loans, and still be able to afford groceries, etc.
I’ll be taking home ~$4000-4500 after taxes. I have been looking at Murray Hill or somewhere further south but walking distance to an express stop to grand central.
My hours are much better than IB so I am willing to make the trade off of commuting for 2 hours a day in order to live in Manhattan. Thanks.
I was thinking of this as well at one point.
I was looking into getting a motorcycle though to mix it up. Figured I'd go crazy just taking the train everyday like a drone. Thought I'd get a leather jacket and shave my hair real short to look almost as good as Kevin Bacon in Death Sentence...
It was at some hedge fund - I had a very good initial phone interview and it looked like things would be an easy followup on site to offer after that interview (they seemed to need someone in the role immediately), but something changed and they didn't fill that position or something. Not really sure what happened there, but never got the motorcycle. Was thinking of something basic (Ducati Monster). I've never owned a motorcycle as I feel I'd be very risky on it.
i used to work in greenwich and stamford...living near grand central and either taking the train or driving. The drive works if you can choose your own hours (to avoid rush hour)...otherwise, taking the train gets to be an easy 45min nap. I'll admit...its exhausting...but for enough money, its worth it.
Et et harum quis eum fugit est. Dolore quidem eum at in quos ipsa atque.
