Raising Our Kids In The City

Guest post by Gerard Mcdaniel My husband and I made the decision to raise our children in Manhattan, and we have definitely been met with our share of raised eyebrows. People who don’t live in Manhattan can’t comprehend why we would want to raise our children in the “hustle and bustle” or why we would pay such exorbidant rates to stay in town when we could easily move out to one of the boroughs. We mostly ignore those people. The decision to stay in the city was the right one for our family, and we’re happy with our choice. We definitely have to budget our money wisely, as neither my husband nor I are trust fund babies, by any means. We are careful where we spend our money, and we try to get the best deal possible on every purchase. Luckily, being that we’re lifelong New Yorkers, we were familiar with the fact that we have the choice to select our energy providers to save money. It’s a quick change to make and has ended up saving us a ton of money. Check out New York Energy Rates to see if you can make a switch too!
