How would you handle 150k a year in Atlanta?

150k, I'd save money and move to another city.

150k in Atlanta is a very comfortable living.

You could live in a condo in the city or a house like this

And have money to spare.

Nah, its an age thing. After you 30+, a lot of people want peace and quiet. Last thing you want is people hearing you fukk women and knocking on your door because she screamed too loud.....or Even CACs getting intrusive with your business.

Fareal bruh...shyt got old quick...I know a chick right now struggling just to say she live in Atlantic station...had to jump through hoops just to get to the spot....I was like what the fukk you do if you got a bunch of shyt to get out the car?

Yea but now is someone living over and below me killing my privacy?

Unless someone can look inside your apartment or hear your every move then I’m not bothered.

The only thing that might be annoying is that you have to share common spaces and pools with others.

Suburban life is made for people who want to stay indoors all day if you ask me.

Also I notice that suburban people have an arrogant way of looking at things when they leave their isolated communities.

Grown folks when they come a certain age like @Wild self said want PEACE OF MIND AND SPACE

NOBODY AT THE AGE OF 35 plus wants to live in a box anymore

Or deal with Communal living ....

No matter how high end or luxury your "condo" is

When I walk out my door here in the country suburbs I don't have to see much less speak to my neighbor.....

I ain't gotta byatch about who in my parking space

I have a driveway.....

And my own mailbox not shared with other "tenants"

And land to expand upon

So yes I'm arrogant ....I worked hard to be isolated from others compromising my space

living like that in NYC as I did made me feel claustrophobic as I got older

When I was YOUNG I loved it...the hustle and bustle..the people ....even the noise

But now I cherish my silence ..it's great for my family and my business

New York was great

But as Paul says ..

When I was young I did childish things I spoke as a child I understood as I child but WHEN I BECAME A MAN I PUTTETH AWAY CHILDISH THINGS .....

And got some land so I can live in peace as a King

Ok...so you just want to be able to walk everywhere ...I get it...but I rather have a nice crib and privacy...and quick access to my spot....I don't need community...and my job is only 7 miles away

Its really about your lifestyle and family situation. I personally couldn't live OTP. I have family, friends and coworkers who live the suburban lifestyle and as a breh born and raised in nyc i cant do it. I hate driving...... and in the suburbs you need to drive EVERYWHERE. I live in east atlanta village where a lot of things are walkable or a quick cheap uber ride. My coworker lives in clayton country "lovejoy" specifically and there is nothing but strip malls and houses in the area plus its a 30 minute commute to downtown (where we work) and an hour going back . My commute is ten minutes both ways In the ATL metro its more important to live close to where you work or near where your industry is located.
