If you live in a big city, work like crazy! It works...............
From FT Simon Kuper
I was driven out of London by house prices years before that became fashionable.
My last residence was a rented shared slum above an off-licence in Marylebone.
When the landlord threatened to tear it down in 2001, I faced the great London
question: do I spend a fortune I don’t have on a grotty little flat and devote
my life to servicing the mortgage? Instead I got on a Eurostar train, and three
days later bought a nice flat in central Paris for £60,000…………………….
Paris is aiming for a feat that may be
impossible: to be a great global city, but one whose citizens do not live in
service to their mortgages. London is both a role model and a warning.
In Big cities where its "easy" (it is never easy) to make money usually its very expensive to rent a flat or to send kids to school. Perhaps that is the reason why if you live in NY or London it makes sense to work 14 hours a day 6 days a week. You have to make it fast, save and go back to a decent place to live.
What's the point to work like a dog just to pay the rent?
If you live in a big city, work like crazy! It works...............
