If u commute from LI to NYC...

Doubt it, whether we have kids or not.

I get home so freaking late every night

I don't even like it now, after the wedding I'll probably start looking for jobs on LI.

When I have kids, I will stay home with them , FH can commute

i don't really have a choice, i have to commute. i'm hoping to work out a four day week where i work from home 1 day and commute the rest of the time.

but i can't really afford to quit my job. FH works in LI so I'm just guessing when we buy a house it will be out there even though I'd much rather stay in Forest Hills - we can't afford a house there though.

i know, that's why i doubt we can afford it. Houses in LI are cheaper, though the taxes are out of control.

if i had my choice i'd be in one of those houses in FH Gardens.... I loooove that whole area. it's like a different world.

i guess it depends on what everyone's job is. It's really not that easy to find a job in LI making as much $$ as in the city. As long as you're willing to take a hefty pay cut (which i guess many people are if they have kids).

i actually want to work in NYC bc its easier for me...i work in NJ now so i only wish i was in nyc the commute would be better...i live in queens and from where i am its SOOOO quick to manhattan...so the city would be quicker for me than LI

what's the commute like to jersey? my commute to midtown is kind of a pain - i almost always have to switch trains unless i take the V all the way to bryant park and walk to park ave from there. usually i take the R to the 4/5 or go back a stop to 71st ave and take the E or F. kind of *****, but it's better than the LIRR i guess.
