I grew up in the suburbs, but we lived extremely close to the city and spent a fair amount of time there. I love love love cities. I moved into a city (not the same one near which I grew up) for college and still live there now, and I am not ready to move too far into the ‘burbs anytime soon.
My FI, on the other hand, has lived in this city all his life and is a little sick of it. He doesn’t seem to understand why some people think this city is so great. He’s ready to move away from it whenever I am…which won’t be a few years. I’m sure he would prefer the burbs, for the quiet, the cleaniness, the space.
