but how can you even afford a 1400$ “studio” making 14$ an hr down there plus getting a car? I wanna move down there (from NYC) but it’s like impossible financially. I’m tired of feeling stuck here in the city. Nowhere is affordable !
I mean you can find studios for like $1200 outside of Uptown where you would still need a car but its a little cheaper than Uptown. You can easily make $16-$18 an hr if you find the right job. if you never look then yeah you'll be stuck with $14. You might still need a roommate but youd also need one it not 2 for NYC. Just understand if you're making $30 in nyc thats $5k a month which is the entire cost of rent alone. $15 an hr here is $2400 which is 2x the cost of rent. The wages make more sense in charlotte even if they are less.
There are many options less than 1400/mo, and when I first moved here I actually found a room to rent for $600/mo for a few months while I got my feet under me. Also many warehouse jobs here (my previous industry) start at $18-$22+/hr for new forklift operators with no experience. Easily make $30/hr or more after a few years. Hope this helps!
Great video very informative, I learned so much!
Thanks for the kind words! We work hard to make sure every video is worth spending your time with us. ❤️
Comparing housing costs of Charlotte with NY and San Diego is not a fair comparison.
Those are the top places people move here from, I give the people what they want. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Good to know. I’ve seen some apartments at like 900-1000 . So i’d probably opt for those in the meantime. But thank you !

Get a 2br and a roommate. That is always going to be cheaper than a studio.
@@norwegianblue2017 sir with all due respect I don’t think anyone wants roommate lol as an adult. I need my privacy
Excellent video.
Thank you for the kind words Cal! Always work hard to make the videos worth your time, and we appreciate you watching and commenting very much.
Hey guys i live in Los Angeles thinking about relocating and rent seems the same .. not to far off
What do you pay for how much space currently?
It would better to compare similar size metro areas. You can compare any midsize city and it will look good against those 4.
Thank you cooper cupp
That’s the best comment I’ve gotten stg 🤣 Thanks for watching!
You can’t compare charlotte ro NY or Miami
Charlotte > Miami & NY
Its only affordable if your boss loves you...
Top tier trolling
