I moved to New York on my own all the way from England! So Don’t listen to people who doubt you, they are just projecting themselves onto you, just because they can’t move here lol. people used to tell me that I’ll never make it here or move here, well i proved them all wrong because I’ve been living in New York for almost 3 years now.
That's amazing!! I'm planning to move to New York from Australia and people literally laugh at me when I tell them I'm moving to New York... SMH... Small minded people
I feel you about the winter here gurl! I moved to New York from North Carolina with only 80 bucks and the name of Jesus. I made it, God made a way for me here and if I can move here with only a few bucks you definitely can. You can make it work.
That’s kinda crazy I’m from Nc and I’m only 17 but I want to live in New York so bad. I’ve always loved the city but I just feel like living there is only a good experience if you have the money
Nyc is definitely an inspiring place. There’s just a lot going on in the city. Can be overwhelming at times. You will pay more for less space. In the summer it’s all worth it. So much to do! For free
I absolutely love your video because it’s the MOST REALIST of any video I have seen. Aside from NYC so darn expensive as a Native New Yorker from the Bronx. But you stated the TRUTH of people cursing you out everywhere! On the train, streets etc. Thank you for also mentioning the “Too Good To Go” app. 👍🏻
I used to live in nyc for acting school for a few years. I'm currently living in south Florida and I'm like 80% convinced on my move back.. however, I want to be as financially secure as possible and level-headed. I know how tough it was living up there at times when it came to loneliness. Also, lyfts and Ubers were like 80-100 dollars when I was up there a few days ago for a week long visit.
I know a few people from North Carolina! They definitely would not be used to the winter haha. Great tips, and great to know that you have found it affordable. Its nice to hear another perspective on that from the usual its so expensive- but often times that isn't adjusting life styles.
Moving to the projects in Bronx in a few days. My buddy got a spot there, he letting me stay there for 4 months because I built his parents a deck in Long Island. I’m White, 30 years old and want to work in the Carpenter Hall. Wish me luck.
This was super informative! The too good to go app sounds cool and I already know I can’t handle the cold 🤣 and that’s crazy that headphones are so important ?! I learned a lot tfs
I'm 16 and I really hope I'll be able to move to NYC in a couple of years. I live in Raleigh, NC, and I find it so boring and empty. I want a lively experience and an opportunity to open up with myself after being confined in my parent's household. Has it been easier to find friends and become social after the pandemic ended? I will not know anyone if I move to NYC, but I figured my social life would be easier post-covid. Any tips?
I also found Raleigh to be boring! Hmmm I honestly don’t think it has become easier. It was probably easier for me to make friends during the height of the pandemic than now but it’s still possible :)
I will be moving to the city from Ohio with my boyfriend at the end of the year. I so can’t wait. Thank you so much for the tips. I know it will help, so thank you!!! I know I look forward to coming!
@@ThomasinaMyresa thank you!!!! Maybe we will cross paths someday. Who knows! Know it’s a big city but anything can happen!!! Keep up the great work and informative videos. They are highly appreciated!
How does the city run during blizzards? Like do people usually shut down, establishments closed? I would imagine it would be hard for people to get to work
Nope the city doesn’t shut down! They have the big trucks that come bulldoze the streets to clear the snow as quickly as possible and the trains still run, it’s just increased caution
@@ThomasinaMyresa I agree I’m from Philly and I went to New York and it was so much better however I live in Florida but it it’s too tropical and Miami is where the money at but is full of crazy tropical vibes people
If you don't mind me asking, how did you do it alone, I want to move to NYC also by myself but I have this fear of it. Do you have any tips? also thank you for the other tips! they're so helpful!
@@ThomasinaMyresa I would say just the fact that New York is so huge and living there alone as a woman is intimidating to me, I know that anything can happen to anyone at any given time but idk lol ! I tend to overthink!
5:43 RATS TALKIN'. omgg lolllll I imagine a bunch of rats in a cluster next to a garbage can talking and fighting while you're trying to sip your latte in an outdoor cafe. You summed up in that one phrase how NASTY New York is. You touched on a LOT of REAL topics. But you didn't touch on the ODORS and SMELLS of the city. Lack of proper sanitation/hygiene is an ever-present issue. There's always a wall of bu-dunk funk that hits you at any given time as you walk the streets or enter subways, mix of garbage and urine on the sidewalks -- especially whenever it gets warm. Also your shoes, bags and clothes will be CONSTANTLY DIRTY from just the daily grime of the city. NYC gets SO MANY PASSES on being nasty as h**** by people so "in love" with city. It gets away with things that even cities like L.A. or S.F. or Miami or any other big city would be vilified for.
I wouldn’t say NYC gets away with it. It is widelyyyyy known that NYC is filthy 😂😂 & you definitely right about the smells. I started spraying perfume on the outside of mask hahaha
The unlimited monthly pass is $127. Coming from somewhere where I’ve always had to have a car I’m excited to save on gas, car payment and car insurance
Ithink free food pantry(s)are for people already here and lost theeir job or are homeless. Not for someone intentionally making the move well aware they cannot afford the cost. That's like moving during this pandemic where people cannot be avicted and staying rent free on purpose. Bad advice.Stick to places you CAN make ends meet. I am all for the hustle but moving to a place you cannot is just not a good move.
You tried so hard to make it sound nice.. But, it’s really a struggle.. So, many places you can lived in.. And yet ppl want to struggle .. The app about the food sounds great if you were homeless.. But, your working your butt off for some left overs..
Everyone’s reality is different. I do not struggle. Yes there are many other places to live but people still choose NYC. The point is to help people have an easier experience in NYC so that they don’t have to struggle. Of course I’m aware NYC can be tough, which I mentioned in the video, but you make the best with what you have and that’s what life is all about :)
Excuse the gloss around my mouth....it’s either chicken grease or cocoa butter....
Guuuurl Hahahaha love the honesty or humor??👁👄👁

I love this video!!! You talked about things that no one else has ever mentioned about the city. Thank you for being honest, new subscriber! 🥰
TFW!! I'm always gonna be straight up with yall!
I plan on moving to New York in a year. I’ve been living in San Francisco for 11 years now and it’s about the same amount when it comes to expenses
Good luck on the move!! :)
i love using too good to go, its saved me especially in winter
Yessss!
Thank you for sharing this I'm moving to the city in 2 weeks and so excited I'm just watching as many videos about it as I can 😅😅😅
yayy! Best of luck on the move!
how is it going? i’m saving up to move now and i’m extremely nervous
Moving to the projects in Bronx in a few days. My buddy got a spot there, he letting me stay there for 4 months because I built his parents a deck in Long Island.

😂😂😂
Dating is literally the worst in New York!!!
Haha yeah it’s tough but I’m really appreciative of the people I’ve met thus far! Trying to change the narrative
LA is just as bad then:(
I’m glad I live in Arizona, where I don’t have to experience that type of living. However I grew up on the east coast. I love out here in Az
Glad you like where you live! I’ve never been (yet)!
Yeah okay dude… i live in Phoenix and grew up in San Diego. Keep telling yourself you love 110+ degree summers lol
I left NYC because it was so expensive and refused to roommate. Those people who warned you were not wrong and I lived there for 26yrs, Never again.
NYC is not for everyone 🤷🏾♀️
@@ThomasinaMyresa I agree I’m from Philly and I went to New York and it was so much better however I live in Florida but it it’s too tropical and Miami is where the money at but is full of crazy tropical vibes people
Yeah. REAL SHIT
I’m relocating there next month with my two kids I’m excited but scared
I’m excited for you!
Hi how is life treating you? I plan to move with my two kids and live in the shelter until I get back on my feet🤲🏾

“Rats talkin” 😂😂😂. That’s comedic gold.
I’m 100% sure they be having little gutter cyphers
Y’all what jobs can I do …..
"I didn't have headphones for three months." I can't leave the house without my earphones. How did you survive?
LMAO I immediately bought headphones and never leave without them!
Me 2 I rather come back home and get them earphones.
Yeah Music will maintain your mental Health
You’re living in the busiest city in the world. Nyc is a great city just depends on the lifestyle you want.
Personally I love it here!
I'm moving out of NYC. Good luck working two jobs just to afford to live in a basement.

It’s 2.75 each swipe
@@ThomasinaMyresa That’s pretty heft in a sense. Do you get a transfer as well?

Not the rats talking lol 😂
All the chit chat 😂😂
You moved in and everybody moving out smh
That’s their business 🤷🏾♀️😂
A lot ppl moving back I have several friends left atl for nyc
definitely net a hobby.
Duh
???
So why you don’t have a car?
I do have a car, but i decided against bringing it to NYC bc the transit system is so great & I dont need it. it wouldve just been an extra expense.
Do you need a roommate
