More Than 60% Of New Yorkers One Check Away From The Streets

[JetFueledThoughts]

The national average is around 40%

It makes sense that NYC has a higher rate due to crazy rents and cost of living in general, but this check to check syndrome is a national problem, not a NYC issue.

And Trump is going to fix the problems

But but the diversity and cultures and the art museums

It isn't just NYC - it's pretty much everywhere. That's why it is always important to have more than one source of income for financial security.

I thought folks were out here eating tho.....I gotta see the Black Friday sale numbers (especially online sales) before I believe this article, most people I see on FB and Instagram got money the numbers not adding up family

Most folks on social media are frauds. Believe anything on there at your own peril. Most don't even look the way they look on Instagram IRL.

It's just like how everyone on thecoli is 6'3-6'5ft tall, owns a house, earns 6 figures, and drives two cars.

But nikkas don't want to leave, I'm taking the NY bar but I'm out after a couple of years. Got a couple of cousins in shelters right now trying to get the hook up on section 8 apartments, ish is sad but hey folks don't want to leave. Folks stick around for their kids, but the odds are against them. In NY you have to rely on lottery chances to secure your kid a chance at a decent education, and that's if they don't become influenced by the streets in the meantime.

The odds are stacked against you, when section 8 lottery, charter school lottery are what keeps your chances of being "aight" in place you need to leave.
