New York doesn't seem like the type of place one easily saves up cash.

I agree. Hence the reason I said I'd come back if I didn't like it.

But according to him, it's easier to find a job there than here.. He'll be making like $30/hr driving an ambulance at night plus what he gets from the Army every month. And we'll only be paying $500/month for rent and stuff cuz we'll be moving in w his old roommate.

I don't mean to be THAT PERSON, but I think you need to be realistic about coming back if you don't like it. Moving back takes a lot of money and preparation. Unless you've got a car, you have to be prepared to lose almost all of your material items. And you've still got to have money.

Can't you make up with your sister? As someone who is also in the "I tried it out and now I want to go back" situation, I can tell you that you have to be prepared to be in it for the long haul. It doesn't even seem like you like Jay that much, so that's a huge commitment for you, especially when you don't even want to go.

Again, I'm not trying to shoot you down, I just want you to understand that you will probably have to stay there for longer than a couple of months if you don't like it.

Yeah. I know.

Even if we made up, I still wouldn't be able to stay with her and work. She lives far from any bus stops and is nowhere near walking distance to -anything- (and she'd be way too busy to take me to work and pick me back up.. my car is in Texas w my parents). We're better off -not- being in that close of a proximity. It was the same w my parents. Being w them 24/7 was awful.

But I'm hoping that once he gets busy w working and school, things will get better. The last couple of months w him being home and doing nothing are what's been driving me nuts mostly.
