I’ve lived in southern NH, around an hour outside of Boston (assuming no traffic lol) for my entire life. I’ve been contemplating making the move for a few years but the cost of living is astronomical compared to my (very nice, but bedroom community) hometown.
I currently work as a remote business analyst at a small private equity firm, so I imagine I’d be able to get something similar in the city itself (I’m a bit bored of WFH).
I’m a young, single woman of color…. No kids,,, and finding people around with similar lifestyles is really difficult. A lot of my friends my age are having children and while I don’t hate kids or anything… just not what I want right now. And honestly the lack of other Asians in NH is making me feel really isolated.
I had a boyfriend earlier this year and we were going down to the city like almost every other weekend because there was always something fun to do. (He’s gone by now so not a consideration LMAO). Dating is also kind of difficult because there just aren’t that many young people around.
Honestly I feel like I have this delusion of “the big city” being this perfect liberal enclave of young professionals who are always going and doing something trendy….Which I know is not realistic but I so rarely see 20-somethings with no kids in NH that it’s giving me depression.
Edit: also if you’re a gross man stop fucking dming me nastiness
