Hello?

Welcome to my blog! This is a space where you can communicate freely about your thoughts, feelings, and ideas as long as it relates to the matter at hand, which is centered around NYC and finding, or rather figuring out ways to live, work, and play in a city this expensive!

Topics open for discussion will include rent prices and just the cost of living in the "big apple" in general. How do others manage? Where do they live? How are you supposed to budget your money? These are all important questions that most New Yorkers have to face, so it's important that it's addressed and talked about openly because each individual has different ideas and suggestions that can help in the quest of surviving financially in such a massive and expensive city! Through our conversation, I'm curious to hear from others if they think the sacrifice of living with four roommates and working 60+ hours a week is worth it, or is there a time when enough is enough?

I know! - it seem like $$$ just floats out of my pockets living in this city! Hey I found this great article about a woman who is planning to live on only $12,084 this year!!! Also, the BAM café in Brooklyn has great free music on the weekends.

Thanks for the links, the article on the woman planning to live on $12,084 a year is amazing, but I guess once she graduates and has her degree it will be worth it! Also, thanks for the tip on BAM Cafe...free music is always a good way to spend some "free" time!
