Their dry cleaning bills must be huge! They crow about paying off their mortgage in two years, but how much are they spending on eating out and dry cleaning?

No other city in the world offers the excitement, the diversity, the culture that New York provides. I transplanted to L. A. many years ago, and still miss Manhattan every day. My son and his wife finally realized that they could not find anything spacious and affordable in NY, so they are buying a condo just across the river in Jersey City. At least it has views of Manhattan, so they won't feel totally deprived!

On a random note - I found it interesting that in their apartment they appeared to have *no* books!
