I grew up in Brooklyn and spent my first few years of young adulthood living in Manhattan, where well over $1,000 a month in rent bought you an apartment the size of a shoebox. At the time, I was living alone and could manage the smaller space. And I worked a demanding job I needed to be close to, so paying a small fortune for a Manhattan apartment made sense.But once I got married, I was quick to ditch the city (and that job) and move in with my husband in suburbia. It was definitely an adjustment, especially since, like many people raised in cities, I didn't even know how to drive when I first moved out here.
