Might have to move to NYC for work
- Thread starter GrindtooFilthy
- Start date
My husband and I are both from the city and most of our families have left in the past 10-15 years. We used to have a SWEET hookup from my dad’s old rent-controlled apartment on 119th and 7th avenue in Harlem until they found out he no longer lived there and kicked us out.
Anyway, I haven’t rented in NYC in 20 years so I have no advice to give on that BUT if you can swing it I say go for it. You will never again have another experience like living in the city.

I’m even looking Anywhere and everywhere

FOH with thisdo you live around a lot of white folk?I grew up in Brooklyn, left for a job opportunity in Northern Minnesota in 2018, and never looked back.
Unless you got the bread to get your own 1 BR or a studio with enough space to be comfortable in, it ain't worth it, especially since you said you're dreading living with roommates.
Even if you make the sacrifice and go the roommates route, you'll probably never make enough to save to buy your own place out there, your cost of living will grow at a rate you're probably not expecting, you're just flushing money down the toilet in rent, and you have to ask yourself how much noise can you endure in one day. Seeing that you said you're dreading roommates, I'm assuming you appreciate more quiet settings.
If you have a car and enjoy driving, you might as well sell it now and come to terms with riding the Iron Horse and the bus, because NYC will make you detest owning a vehicle.
My advice is to find the best job/salary offer you can vs. the most affordable cost of living you're willing to endure and try to find the best compromise. Hating where you live is an easy way to ensure it being a quick stopover in your life's journey and NYC isn't built for every different job skill-set to properly succeed. Stay afloat? Sure. Get ahead? Nope. It's the town that's automatically defines "Rat Race" for everyone for a reason.
If you read this post and you like what you read, then go for it. I'm just here to give you some insight and kick it real, but ultimately do you and best of luck doing it.
Edited to add I just read something about living in a car at a campgrounds and communting to Queens. Breh don't take any clown-ass advice like that and if that's what NYCers are reduced to doing now thank God I left when I did
if you healthy and in shape just join the military fr
i get betting on yourself, but there's better odds than grinding and hoping new to a city like NY

I got a few friends and family in nyc and def y’all have a better night life than Boston but I’m trying to figure if the overall higher col of living will be worth the headache.

I live around people and best of all there's alot of distance between us. I have peace, quiet, the great outdoors and I'm far away from prying eyes.
I can hear deer running by during the day, wolves howling at the moon, and loons on the lake singing their beautiful songs during the summer.
Can't get that in NYC or any major metropolis.
That's literally ALL that matters to me in regards to where I live. Keep your loaded questions to yourself like I keep a loaded shotgun in every room
