Things may cost more there, but you make more money at the same jobs.

Not necessarily. I have friends back home who are easily making more than I do in similar-type jobs. I would be able to afford a decent house back home and I would be financially stable. Just because I work in Manhattan, doesn't mean I make a lot of money. I'll be moving into the city when my lease is up and my rent will probably be quadruple what my parents and friends pay on their monthly mortgage payments.
My boyfriend and I don't plan on marrying until we have some money in the bank. Who knows how long that will take with paying off school loans and the like. Children will come after. Where I'm from, most people are married and have children already. I'm in no hurry for either. It will happen.
