Living in NYC: Expectations vs Reality (Is it worth it?)
Is it worth it to live in NYC? Today we are talking all about life in New York City: Expectations vs reality. We will cover the realistic cost of living, housing challenges, roommate horror stories, things to do in NYC, NYC tips, and more things I wish I had known before moving here. New York City has its pros and cons but depending on your goals, it is definitely worth the move. Personally, I am happy with my move. There were some things that required adjusting. I am still on the fence about if I will live here long term. But again, happy to say I am living in one of my dream cities.

    Really good video with very practical tips about work options and getting a place and sometimes the first things aren't ideal like temp work or roommate but gives a start right? I'm older, single guy, recent unfortunate breakup, and she moved away too. I'm feeling like I need a change. The new city/state is only less than 400 miles, but more progressive state. I was layed off my job back in March. I have an online side gig and another 10 weeks of unemployment. I'm start looking for remote work or remote from that city and may take a road trip to see the place. I know the idea of we can't escape ourselves, but after she left, staying here just feels stagnant or empty for me.

    Thank you for your videos. Please tell me why apartment representatives require payment in checking your credentials of decency for a needed economical place known as a "credit report" and a payment for an unknown credential of a person handling your privacy information known as "Administration Fee and Application Fee?" Why are these ludicrous apartment fees as to application imposed on economical needs for the people and not other economical needed areas, as to jobs? Have security deposits on interest bearing accounts vacated from leasing rules with accrued interest properly administered after lease is terminated? There should be laws implemented on everything that is required for payments in total printed on lease, summary, ads and any other documents about the building to be rented. Even an estimated electric or gas bill to assist in the total cost before leasing. Renters insurance should be an option to buy, because it only protects the renter and their merchandise arguably. If you pay renters insurance for years and never use the insurance, you have lost money while this is a simple way insurance agencies and affiliates make easy money.

      Both places are good choices I’ve heard good things about Seattle. Only been to Colorado but I would say Colorado is more slow paced and relaxed. If you want the city feel but still want to be able to slow down Seattle might be best. Start planning and make an exit .

      Go for it! After you take the leap you will see how soon things align. Just go into it being positive and open. It might get rough but trust me so so worth it . Just plan it out and set a date. I use a website called rent cafe to get an idea of cost of living. Start looking for income, start in a studio or room if you have to. Don’t hold yourself back.

      I completely understand that feeling of wanting to start over elsewhere. Have you thought about any cities in particular? Maybe it’s time to move somewhere that’s more slow paced ? Just know that it is possible. Cities change and the culture changes. You also can change and sometimes it’s no longer a fit.

    What about breaking your current lease

    • @AminahOjere
      @AminahOjere Місяць тому

      Depending on your apartment complex you can do 1 of 4 things : 1 sublease your apartment basically get someone to take over your lease through the office/management. 2. Sublet your apartment (risky) , have someone live in your apartment and have them pay you the rent so Airbnb or fb marketplace. You would of course have to go back to the state to check and do the walk through at the end of the lease. 3. Break your lease . Some apartments have a policy where you would either loose your deposit or pay 1 month of rent. Check your lease of course or call your management and find out. Option 4 is to just ride the lease out 🥲. I hope that helps !

      It might be time. Rooting for you. Think about it like this, maybe everything is being removed from around you so you can finally take the leap? Wishing you luck with everything.

      I know you can register 1 pet as an emotional support animal but 2 might be a bit challenging unless you’re traveling via airline with someone else. Look into it for sure. Also, I know there’s a service where someone can drive your pet to whatever state you’re moving to. I think it’s called citizen shipper but Google to confirm. And of course the last resort is driving to your next destination. You’d just have to search for apartments, airbnb or sublets that allow pets. Don’t let that stop you. Good luck !

    I’m getting ready to move in July with two kids and we are all excited. I’ve done the move before and her video is on point. You just have to make the move and you’ll figure it out. The only difficult part for me is finding a room or shared space to rent with two kids. But will figure it out. YOLO like she said.

    • @AminahOjere
      @AminahOjere Місяць тому

      July is a good time to move here, the weather is nice(but hot) and there will be so much to do ! It will be more challenging for sure to find housing, but not impossible. You might even be able to find your own studio/ 1bed but further outside of the city. Which in that case, you’ll have to weigh the pros and cons of commuting for work, school(s) etc. But keep looking, stay optimistic. Wishing you all of the luck. I have a video that talks a bit more about finding shared accommodations hopefully it helps, here’s the link : ua-cam.com/video/MLD4CmF8WzU/v-deo.htmlsi=-8MT8t8oNaawS8iu

      Thank you so much for the advice and encouragement! I'll definitely keep looking and remain optimistic. Moving to a new place can be challenging, which is why I stumbled the first time I moved. However, I'm excited about the opportunities, especially with the knowledge and resources from my past experiences and videos like yours. This time around, I'll be documenting my journey and all the resources I tap into to share with moms who are looking to make the move like myself. I firmly believe that mothers shouldn't limit themselves from moving or living in their dream cities just because they are mothers. It's challenging, but it's definitely possible.I appreciate your support and the video link. I've spent the whole week watching, and I'm impressed by your work. Keep it up, sis! Continue to connect with the community; your content is spot on. Cheers 🥂 to your future success❤
