I’m so curious given some recent posts around savings and money.
I’m 27, recently moved to NYC, and am feeling a weird pressure from peers to live without roommates, go out to eat and spend $100 every week, and have the fancy bells and whistles that signal wealth. I make 85k base with bonuses, so I’m in a good position, but not a live by myself and wrack up debt on an amex position. And it’s strange because I know what my friends make and we’re in pretty similar positions.
I also don’t come from money and have never had anything to fall back on, so when people suggest I do certain things with my money, it really pisses me off!
Any tips on avoiding the pressure and being responsible while still taking advantage of everything NYC has to offer?

I am in my mid-late 40s and I am lucky enough to own a whole ass house way out in an outer borough. The ONLY reason I could afford said house is because I ALWAYS lived in 3-4 bedroom places with roommates.
And now with the house...we have 4 roommates. But it's totally worth it for the security and equity.
I'm not sure how attainable getting a house is anymore, but literally EVERYTHING is more attainable when you have less expenses because your living expenses are under control.
