Norwalk guna be cheaper than Stamford but can still get both night life (south Norwalk & Stamford) easily. I wouldn’t do bridgeport personally cause it’s not the greatest city and traffic is miserable on I-95.

I’d prob go stamford because it s got the more city feel but I moved to Norwalk 3 years ago and no complaints. It’s more of a suburb feel to me.

Twin rinks had 2 pool tables and a bar in it. Played in a league on Wednesdays there. It’s a hockey rink so crowd mostly players after their games or parents watching their kids. There’s a bunch of bars in Stamford with pool tables tho and if willing to venture 20 mins there’s a pool bar in Norwalk with tons of tables. That’s more of a bar with music and shit.

I've recently started going to Norwalk Vision Center. It's not in Stamford, but only a 20 min drive or so. They were amazing in terms of eye exam and helping me pick a pair of glasses. I wanted a pair of ray ban sunglasses that they didn't carry in store so the receptionist called and had a trial pair shipped for me before ordering the prescription so I could try them on.

I'd deff check out what benefits your insurance offers before you go! Mine offers a 150 allowance towards lenses, than an additional 20% off any amount over that (30% if you buy same day as your appointment).

Hey man - So what exactly is your knowledge of options/trading in general? Are you currently in school studying finance to work in the field, and understand all the factors that impact an option as well as the risk?

Overall, I'd say to just stick with buying solid companies (or Index tracking ETFs) and holding. You're 20 and if you start now with this strategy you can easily build a solid portfolio over the next 10 years using some dollar cost averaging and reinvesting dividends. If you're hell bent on options, you can always do some covered calls if you're trading a name. Besides that I'd stay away from the WSB type trading. Options can make you money quick, and can lose all your money quicker. I've been working in the HF space for 7 years now since leaving school and I can tell you the way these traders understand derivatives and markets vs your average joe is night and day. Feel free to PM me to talk more on it.

I’d look at Norwalk if you’re at that range. Stamford you’ll get a crappier 1br for that. Need like 2-2.5k for nice 1br
