    While I don't live in NYC, I feel your advice and tips apply to every city. The New York I see on TV and movies is always so glamorized. We know the truth and I for one appreciate your frankness. It can be glamorous but also hard.
    Thanks for this video. I thoroughly enjoy your content.
    Luv from Texas.❤

    I live in NYC too, and everything you said was so spot on. Especially pertaining to having street smarts. I remember when I went to Germany for 10 days, my friend and I asked the hotel clerk where was the nearest store. It was 1:00 am. He said that he wouldn't suggest us go to the store that time of night.. My response: We from New York 😆😆😆

    Thank you for this video. I could totally relate as someone who is born and raised in New York. At the moment I’m trying to look for jobs and it’s been hard due to high competition and what not. Everything is so expensive these days it’s like you can’t stretch out a dollar to make ends meet.

    Totally appreciate this video. I fear the loneliness and the possibility of homelessness too lol. But seeing others succeed and become independent is inspiring. Hopefully it won't drag me down but build me up once I move there. What's the market like now? Is it best to start apartment searching mid-summer or end of?

    • @mohuyakhan
      @mohuyakhan  3 місяці тому +1

      you can for sure do it too. just make sure to have a good chunk of money saved up! Summer is usually the craziest time to search for apartments so I would recommend winter, but late summer if you can't wait!

      @@mohuyakhan how much money do you recommend having saved up? I just turned 18 and was planning on moving to ny to pursue modeling- I’m ngl the move sounds extremely intimidating, me coming all the way from Texas and definitely do not have any sort of degree to my name, but even despite that I’m the take the risks kinda guy
      Also, does moving to ny 18 sound like a good idea? I know I had said I take risks but I haven’t really experienced that much of the adult life like paying utility bills, groceries, etc.I also wouldn’t want to become homeless in the first week of arriving 💀 my initial plan was finding a roommate but I don’t really have a grasp on how difficult it is to find one.

    What are your thoughts about a homebody who owns their home in another state, but considering moving to NYC for a job. I honestly just want to sublet for the first few months before I make the full move. The offers I get are 6 figures but I wonder if it’s a waste of money and causes more stress
