Kicking it Off

First things first: everything is relative. I want this blog to be a useful resource for people who are: a) concerned with the environment; b) looking to stretch their budget in New York; and c) not monks. That last one is really important. Living green on a budget can lead to drastic measures like freeganism, or No Impact Man. That’s not what this is about. That said, the “high life” does not mean this blog will teach you how to find a 2000 sq ft loft in Tribeca for under $1000 and spend your nights getting bottle service with the celebrity chasers in the Meatpacking District. For my purposes, the high life is a reasonably comfortable living with some extras and perks that might seem out of reach without a Wall Street salary. God knows I’m not the first to come up with almost any of this stuff, but hopefully pulling it together in one place will be interesting enough for anyone in a similar situation to keep reading. And I am always grateful for tips on how to improve…so if you see something I miss, then send it my way. Alright, that’s plenty long enough for an intro. Enjoy the blog!
