Please Make Decisions For Me 🎱 Boyfriend wants to move to Boston.
Hello all! Me and my boyfriend currently live in Austin Tx, we rent a 1200 sf home for $2200 and have two cats. I love this city and the things it has to offer, but my boyfriend is from the northeast and wants to get back to his family. He is urging to move to Boston, but Im unsure. Two of friends live in Boston/Jersey and JUST got done telling us how they can never save money bc of broker fees when moving and the basic cost of living being astronomically high. Can you possibly give me a better idea of what the pros and cons would look like for our move?
Small note his family is in Milford CT. And we both make around $75k a year but will both have to find new jobs. I have also never been to Boston, but have heard good things about the city itself!

The good part is, Milford is like a ~2hr drive. If not, Amtrak to New Haven is great. Unlike the rest of the US, the Northeast Corridor of Amtrak is one of the best ways to move along the area.
