living in new york city?
 

for those of you who live there, do you like living there? is it possible to find a job and be able to pay rent ok if my entrepreneurial endeavors go under? my girlfriend moved tehre for school and its hitting me a lot harder than i thought it would. i have thoughts of moving there in about a year or so from now. she goes to school in brooklyn at pratt so thats the area i would live. :helpme :(

nobody is awake there i guess

this would be a bump ;\

its possible to find a job, but be aware that the cost of living is much higher there... what kinda job are you looking for?

unless your girl is some ugly skank she will have a new boyfiend by now :2 cents:

not easy i think :helpme

a job?

what are you good at, it really depends.

Living in a decent section of brooklyn is about 1100 a month.

What type of job?

why, you hiring? :1orglaugh

there are still girls in the world that look good and arent total sluts who date as many guys as they can. i know shes a good catch and part of the reason i may want to go move near her so we can stay together.

always

not even living in the us...
but I'll go there soon! :)

hey lets talk on icq like i said this wouldne be for another 10-12 months but id like to ask you about new york if possibly whats your icq or icq me!

go with your first instinct and yes it is possible to find a job in the city. it's up to you and your resume.

Expensive as hell, be ready to pay from $1600 to $2000 for a small hole to live in Brooklyn and just about anywhere in NY... if you go to live in a bad part you could find a small apmt for about $1200

I had a good time in New York when I went there on a trip. Exciting place.. and it seems you can find just about anything that is open 24 hrs.

Crazy expensive to live there though.

you should be able to find a job in the city pretty easily i would think. i dont know though.

do you not make enough doing your online stuff to support yourself in nyc?

as of this moment im not too sure but its true i can always worker smarter/harder which may be the only or best solution.

NYC area rent is $$$ even for a small shit hole.

Try the outlying places like brooklyn or bronx or forest hills.

All within a subway ride into NYC.

I am on the island , i personally dont like the city life tbh I am more of the suburb type guy

I loved being in the city, but DIDN'T love paying $2500 for a small one bedroom place.

Granted it was in the Village, but still...not the best of arrangements.

I'd do what Juicy said. Look in Brooklyn.

There's always Rockland County too. Always a train, so the city is close by...and you're out in "the country" with big state parks and homes with yards.

yeah it may work out like i said her school is in brooklyn so thats where i would probably wanna live anyway

I live in the village right now and pay $1600 for a largish studio apartment that would probably go for about $400-500 in a small town. But hey, that's city life. I love living here. If you can't pay your way with your online business, it's not too difficult to get a good paying job here.

Just out of curiosity, how many square feet is your apt?

Don't forget, you can find roommates. When I first moved here and was uncertain about my financial situation I found some cool roommates through craigslist and got a big 3 bedroom place in brooklyn and was only paying $700/month. Roommates can be a pain in the ass but it's a great way to get acquainted with the city and figure out your options from a better position

It's about 400 square feet.

I would never live IN New-York for sure!
