Asking New Yorkers How Much They Make

I walked around all day in New York City to ask people how much money they make, what they do for a living, and how much New Yorkers pay for their rent. We got to interview people from all different industries from traditional fields like architects and construction workers all the way to professional Oprah singers and high-end New York fashion designers!

Managing money is different from accumulating wealth, and the lack of investment education in schools may explain why people struggle to maintain their financial gains.

That Opera singer is why NYC is so great. So much talent in this city. You never know who's who.

You interviewing skills are greater than most pdestrian mic dudes on youtube. You connect well with people and they open up as a result - all to the benefit of the viwers. Keep up the great work!

The last two guys are the type of guys I would see in a “What Are People Wearing in NYC” video. Love their fashion!

*I didn't become financially independent until I was in my late 40's, and I'm still in my 40's. In addition to having purchased my second home and earning money on a monthly basis through passive income, I've also achieved three out of five goals. I just hope this inspires someone to realize that it doesn't matter if you don't have any of these things yet, you can start today no matter your age. Change your future by investing! I made a rather big decision by investing in the financial market.*

That was a beautiful tune sang by the opera singer. She has such a beautiful voice.

Tristan, 1st off. My son is named Tristan. I am so proud of you! I have been following your progress. Keep it going! I love that you are pursing something that you have is your passion. It is not easy to approach people who do not want to be approached. I built my business by knocking on doors. I now make $360.000 a year. Just keep it up. I believe in you!

[alex_georgescu]

Appreciate these videos and wish there could be even more, I can t get tired of them and of seeing such a variety of people.

[THEPOWEROFWHY]

I love you Tristan. You are so consistent and on it!

[jasonmillers]

I totally relate to your penthouse in Nebraska analogy 😂 which is why I moved from Florida. 50 grand a month goes a long way where I live now 😂

[isaiahnych]

W vlog very important to see other perspectives!

[LosBigga]

Tristan tapped in to the comments fr 🔥😂

[convolutted]

I believe the opera singer is J'Nai Bridges, love her work!

[MissEAG]

My question is to you Tristan.. how is the YT video gig going? I'm in another country and would love to hear your take on whether you think making these 'What People are Wearing' videos is worth doing? Thanks in adavance!

[amapparatistkwabena]

How is $1, 100/week a 6-figure income? Make it make sense.😮

[JasonDunn]

Great video Tristan. Always surprising how people reveal their income to complete strangers.

[brockman]

2:24 lmao I thought she was a fraud!...but she had to warm up her pipes hahah. sounded great after that .25 sec hiccup hahaha

[pabloguillen]

Please, talk about your modeling experience on Ralph Lauren. And please go for cool people with style.

[evanoneill]

Wow! Im not opera type of dude, but that chick has some pipes!

I LOVE THE FACT YOU INTERVIEW REAL REAL PEOPLE. YOU'RE NOT IN SOME FANCY AREA INTERVIEWING FAKES WHO ARE MAKING MILLIONS AND DON'T KNOW HOW THE REAL NEW YORK FOLKS STRUGGLE. I LOVE THE GUY WHO EVEN SAID SIX FIGURES DO NOT GET YOU MUCH IN NYC. MY SISTER MAKES SIX FIGURES, BUT SHE HAS TO WORK 7 DAYS A WEEK. THANK YOU TRISTAN FOR SHOWING REAL PEOPLE NOT ACTORS CLAIMING TO MAKE OVER $130 GRAND.
