I love all these people complaining that rent in NYC is way more expensive than their city. Of course, there's a reason no one is watching YouTube videos about moving to Cleveland.

New York is the only city where you can see a Wall Street Banker screaming into his phone and a homeless man smoking weed at the same bus station

Erik: *very affordable*
Me: *Thank god*
Erik: *Only 1900 dollars*
Me: *you for real though*

[Beatle]

"The rent is really affordable at $1, 900"


*cries in Texas*

I'm wanting to move to NYC on a "realistic budget". So, after watching this, do I sell crack or just go the prostitution route?

[iincher]

My rent is $695. Hearing "just $1800" is ridiculous.

Any time I think about or visualize myself living in NYC I get emotional, am I the only one who does this?

Bro, calling stuytown a sprawling neighbourhood of redbrick apartments is the nicest way ive ever hear anyone describe projects before in my life

[GabrielTravelerVideos]

Just arrived in NYC today. I found a private room for only $55 per night. Although calling it a "room" is a stretch, more like a closet. But hey it'll do for a few days. Looking forward to exploring this fascinating city.

I love NYC, have lived here for about 10 years before moving to Sweden. NYC was hell a lot of fun, always things to do regardless what time it was and always have dates going on even none of us were serious. I was a manager in an accounting firm in my late 20s, paid 1800 to live in an one bedroom apt sharing with a roommate at midtown east.

But you know what, my savings was like nothing and I couldn’t even afford to travel around the world or even start a family - living in NYC makes you proud and learn how to survive but looking back now in my mid 30s, if I even didn’t move to NYC I would have already bought a nice house and living with my beautiful families and even starting a business. Move before you really know what you want in your life, NYC is indeed great but you will get lost if you just throw yourself in there.

I like how the guy wouldn’t even venture into Harlem or Chinatown

[savagesickness]

Homie said "they look pretty bland" and "they look like and institution" I think the word your lookin fo is "projects" 🤣🤣🤣

[ardaciftci]

I wonder how HIMYM and Friends characters could afford livings by always hanging out at bar and cafe.

[josheydubs]

You can tell he's only seen things from the perspective of a wealthy person.

"How do you live in ny with a realistic budget."
You don't.

Everyone here bragging about their rent, my small-town 1-bedroom apartment is exactly $400/mo
That said, living in New York sounds like a dream worth the hustle.

[philipbenjamin]

Hi Erik. That was a great video – showed a great deal of empathy for the ordinary person coming to New York – thank you and good for you. And thanks for mentioning the one in five – surely some kind of commitment to helping them could help to keep one's feet on the ground in New York.

I’d love to live in New York, it’s an incredible city. But the financial impact would stop me seeing other places in the world and doing the things I love doing.

I'm so glad I lived in NY in my late teens and early 20's as a nanny cause there's no way I could afford to live there now. Those rent prices are ridiculous...And definitely not affordable unless jobs pay extremely well there. That's a video idea ... What does the average Joe get paid an hour in New York for regular jobs such as Janitor, hotel housekeepers, Retail sales, etc.
