Downtown or Downgrade?

When you wear that 400$ Downtown overcoat or jacket and walk up the streets of Manhattan ....a job that everyone dreams of, what are the strings attached to that ? Is it really that lucrative like the way it really sounds or is there a hidden caveat.

I can vouch for both the sides of the discussion not just because this is my content or playing devils advocate
One needs to understand the culture shift in mindset to analyze what really happens

The suburb story and the strong downtown comparison
You wake up at ease 
Walk upto your patio and slide the rails and sip a cup of beverage and look at gods creatures that trail 
You take a long walk upto your car parking spot and have a good feeling when you turn on the ignition and drive away
You park in a wide open parking lot for free ... I mean free !!!
Your kid gets a feeling that life is more than just concrete structures fancy mentioned as the stare able skyline.... Really !!!!


Though it wasn't a job on the Wall Street it still had solace and the word piece stuck to it



With downtown you just coin the word space crunch , shoulder to shoulder traffic, long wait queues to grab a decent bite and adding to that pay twice as more rent to make a living on the harbor or sometimes no harbor facing Highrise

It's upgrading status quo on the job or may be fancy footprints of Wall Street for me .....but the truth of the pudding is there starring at your tough decision

However over a period of time you get used to rearranging your life the fast paced time .....but how long

Life's decisions of sustaining such an arrangement of a MilkRun downtown life makes you insensitive to everything else but time ...TIME 
All you care is run take the train , speed walk and go gate crash your own house to catch up on an early dinner and early to bed

Sometimes feel like Akshay Kumars life :)

So Downtown or downgrade is a perception and not something that's true for everyone 

.....I hear ducks quacking on my patio ...Shit !!!! Am still dreaming
