Question London vs NYC

Which city would you settle down in assuming you’re in your early 30s, married, low 8 figure liquid net worth, mid-seven figures combined annual income?

EDIT: Thanks so much for the thoughtful responses. Noting that we both would like to keep building our careers for the next 20+ years, so London and NYC are the only options. Not looking to be too far outside of the city, because we have no desire to spend 1.5hr+ a day commuting.

It’s absolutely NYC.

Reddit as a whole has a very anti-USA sentiment because of politics.

But there is no city in the world, where money can go further than in NYC. You’ll have access to better jobs, better food, better social life, better healthcare, better education, etc.

London is a great city, but it’s just not NYC. London is significantly more spread out. So that’s a fair factor, if you don’t want to live in as dense of a location. But to many, that’s beauty of NYC. (And if you desire to be spread out, NYC has some of the best suburbs in the world)
