Antelope os gorgeous and the Navajo are great people.

But let me ask you: wasn’t that tour the most touristy thing you’ve ever done in your life?

Felt really cool bs’ing with the guides they were all cool but damn the tour needed a little bit more history or something. got really sick of just being told “yo this is a really cool photo spot” every time I rounded a corner.

Yeahh true. Looking riverside it seems pretty much a bum town.

The $1440 scares me though. I want to be able to pay off the rest of my federal student loans and put money into rainy day/travel accounts. But I guess you can’t have it all lol.

Appreciate the advice!

Very stuck on a choice between apartments in NJ if anyone could help.

  1. 2br with roommate in Riverside, NJ. 11 mins from work, roommate is a stranger. $1025/month is my individual payment. Don’t know much about Riverside. Doesn’t look that great to be in. Not sure how reliable train is for weekends into philly.

  2. 1 Br in Collingswood, NJ. $1440/month, I have been looking at this town for a while, seems like a really nice place to live, and thats probably the best rent I’m gonna get there without finding a roomie. 20-30 minutes from work, thats doable because Imm currently commuting an hour and its torture.

Caveats: I am lucky enough to make about $96K/yr, I could afford either place but the issue is wanting that extra couple grand to stick into a travel account for a large trip I want to plan in 1-2 years time. At the same time I don’t have a lot of time to decide and I have no idea what living in Riverside is like or if its gonna make me miserable for a year.

I know neither is gonna break bank, again I’m pretty lucky that rent and student loans are my biggest expenses as of now. Its more a question of actually keeping more of my hard earned money or having what I assume is a higher quality of live in Collingswood (not to dunk on my Riverside folks, I just don’t know town)

Let me be clear in saying that I don’t think anyone who owns multiple restaurants in NYC has the capacity to be a good person. I definitely did see the Woody Alan apologist post which was icky.

He did also send an employee of 17 years $500 and a week paid vacation to Chechnya. Hopefully the guy has gotten a lot more personal time off in 17 years but that doesn’t seem like a terrible thing. Maybe its just a publicity post but idk many resturaunt owners doing that.
