Never thought I'd say this but I miss home, Buffalo NY. I like it better than NYC. I'm coming home.

As somone who lived in NYC for 10 plus years I tell anybody don't move there unless you got a ballin job or already got hella bread.

Moving to NYC with no money or connections can never turn out well.

Hope things turn for the better back home.

From NYC and went to college in Buffalo....Like previous posters have said if you're not earning $120k/year NYC isn't for you
I'm in Denver now, making just above $100k....I can't afford to live in NYC (the way a single 28 year old should be living)


Good Luck!

X don't do it bruh.....frfr

I'm from Miami (which is a poppin city, but for non-West Indian blacks it's meh) and anytime someone says they coming home from trying their dream, it usually means they've accepted a life of mediocrity

The Bible says no man is of honor in his own hometown, of course those people in Buffalo were hating on you when you left, because for them it's like "How dare this little black nikka dream!" and when you go back home they'll be extremely happy to drag you down the path of stagnation and unambition, the path of Black & Milds, hole in the wall strip clubs, basic ass Thanksgiving dinner, Popeyes, marrying a basic chick, having basic ass kids, having a basic ass car and a basic ass house, truck driving is a basic ass job, that's the lick for nikkas fresh out the state jail down here

When you're 80 years old, winding down on the hourglass of your life, do you wanna be remembered as a regular nikka from East Buffalo that drank, smoked, had 3 kids who did nothing and died with a $50k life insurance policy, or do you wanna be the millionaire entrepreneur, the business leader, the man who blazed his own, who for generations your descendants will be saying "my great-grandfather was Dr. X, he was the founder of the largest art company in America and left us $400 million"

I wouldn't be mad if you were going back on some entrepreneurial/investment/philanthropic tip, but it sounds like you're giving up on your dreams
This nikka here gets it. God bless you wherever you are champ.
