Adjusting to City Life After Moving From the Country

It’s a tale as old as time — the country bumpkin moving to the big city to chase their professional and personal dreams. Professional movers see clients every day who move to the city with little to no expectations and end up shocked at what they find. With over fifty percent of the world’s population living in cities (and that number is rising by the day) there are millions of people all feeling the same level of anxiety and insecurity about their new lives. Here are a few tips for making the adjustment like a pro:

If you’re ever going to hire a moving company, NYC is the place to do it! Of all the big cities across the country, New York is notorious for being the hardest on newcomers. However, if you have a team of professional movers NYC really isn’t so bad. Having people catering to your every whim during the moving process allows you more time to think about your new life without worrying about the details. Professional movers make sure that your couches and chairs are in the right place so you can devote yourself to making rent. Request a quote from a full service moving company that will take care of everything.

Try New Things

One of the most common complaints people have after moving to the city is that it is very difficult to make friends. This goes double for people who haven’t found gainful employment yet. Although making friends can be hard, putting yourself in situations where potential friends will be is easy. Take up a new hobby that allows you to join a group class, like bowling or painting. You could also join a gym in your neighborhood, or participate in a local bar trivia night. People are all looking to socialize, and if you put yourself out there, good things will inevitably happen.

Make a Budget and Stick to It

Living in the city is invariably more expensive than living in the country. Rent is higher, activities are more plentiful, and jobs never seem to pay enough to support the lifestyle you want. The antidote to this is creating a budget that tracks every outlay and paycheck to a T. It is very easy to spend that extra $20 at the club if you’re having a good time, but it’s not so easy when you’re mindful of your exact budget for the month. Mobile applications like Mint can help you save dough while informing you about your expenses, category by category. City life in New York living can get expensive, but a having a good plan can save you from your own worst impulses.
