Excellent video - nice, detailed breakdown of costs and appreciate the honesty. Keep up the great work.
Comments like this one make the tougher days as a small content creator worth it ten times over.
Thank you Justin! 🤝🏻 Made my day.
You're a very likeable guy. All the best to you. (I was born and raised in NYC, been there done that. Heading out of the U.S. now. Can't fault you for wanting to give NYC a try though.)
Thank you so much for saying that ❤️ All the best to you as well! Best of luck on your travels… I envy you! ✈️
NYC is definitely worth it! The entertainment & career factors are simply too good to be replicated anywhere, even in other large cities… plus I love your outlook. This is likely a temporary phase of your life and $2650 a month is a solid mortgage in most places… hard to imagine going from a studio to a 3br house without changing the cost
Great point, I never even thought of it that way.
I liked this video
Folks you don't have to spend so much money to live in NYC. Not everyone earns 100k plus. I share a very large old school apartment in Bklyn with one other room mate ($1100 each). It can easily be used as a 3bed and we have the backyard. Unlimited monthly metro $135 . Phone Mint mobile $17 per month. Food $250. I don't do gyms but in the past I've done city gyms or other cheap gym like planet fitness. I even leave $250 for miscell activities. I lived like this comfortably for a couple years saving until I purchase a home. So yes NYC is more expensive than other cities but with savvy it can be managed.
Thanks for the alternate perspective. I should take a page out of your book! 📚
@@ForeverForwardPod Yeah. Save your money sir. Unless of course you have it like that and also want luxury. Housing is the most expensive part. And realtors also take advantage of newcomers to the city..
@@Myraisins1 For sure. Real estate broker fees are out of control. And I certainly don’t “have it like that” 😂 but I’ll be here for a couple more years until my girlfriend finishes grad school, and then we’ll be off to somewhere more reasonable 🤝🏻
Wow… those prices😂 definitely got no plan on moving to NYC anytime soon unless a miracle happens🙏🏼
Loved this video again, super informative and I’m not even from the US. Kept wanting to know how expensive the next thing was going to be🙃
So brutal bro 😂 appreciate the kind words! Proud of the little paper rolling edits in this one 😂
Very informal video, and some pretty shocking prices for the big apple! Definitely worth the watch for someone thinking about moving to NYC, or just interested in the economics in one of the largest cities in the world.
Thank you! 🙏🏻
This is an awesome video!! Love it
Hey thanks so much SS. I actually just watched your car discussion and loved it as well. Such a unique concept…
Very interesting well done video Sir! Most excellent thumbnail usage as well!😊
Ahhh i’m so happy to hear from you guys! Thank you so much… I believe it’s my best thumbnail yet! Learning slowly 🤝🏻
@ForeverForwardPod been busy with other CZcams projects have been rethinking the approach to this channel to make it more successful. Biggest most important lesson of CZcams ALWAYS be learning and ready to adapt!
@@GoodThings4GoodPeople That's great advice and something I needed to hear! THANK YOU
I knew NYC was expensive but WOW that is kind of nuts!
Our 20s are great years to experience new things, so I'm glad you're making the most out of it!!!
Yeah it definitely is a little crazy 😂 and I know some people that pay way more. I’d say this is middle of the road for downtown manhattan.
Hopefully you’re somewhere a bit less nuts with the cost of living 😂
@@ForeverForwardPod It's definitely not as crazy thankfully!! But wow it's only in the middle, that's nuts 😰
Very enjoyable video! Good luck with your youtube career.
Thank you so much! Consider subscribing if you’d like to see my future content 🙂🤝🏻
Always wanted to visit NY since I was a kid. Being a Chicago kid I was always fascinated by NY and still haven't had the chance to go. If anyone from NY reading this comment let me know where I can get the BEST tasting thin crust pizza 😊
You gotta check it out at some point!😊 That’s pretty ironic, because I always find myself really interested in the midwest! I feel like people are nicer out there.
As for the pizza, I’m a thick crust guy - so I’m not an expert! I’d love to know as well.
Lombardi’s…
@@numerologicatarot3333 I'm gonna check it out this weekend.
@@ForeverForwardPod you won’t regret it.
@@numerologicatarot3333 any other must-try food spots?
I knew Equinox was expensive but I didn't know it was that expensive! Then again I've heard they've got a lot of extreme amenities besides just weights and cardio machines. Do you like your gym?
Your terrace has such a great view! I'm actually pretty jealous of that! Though that rent is insane. Smart of you and your friends to split the studio though
Does the subway have passes or anything? $3 is pretty cheap, but assuming you take it twice a day, five days a week, that's $120 a month. I don't think I spend even that much on gas. Either way it's probably cheaper than driving due to gas, insurance, and a car loan, and also you don't have to worry about driving in all that traffic. I'm glad you are having a good time in NYC and enjoying it while you can! I spent a year in a suburb of Denver, CO back in 2018-2019 and I miss it every day! I myself actually live in rural OH but I grew up in Columbus. Columbus is a great city, and as boring as living in a rural area can be, it's quiet and peaceful with not much in the way of bothersome people
Great video as always bro!
Edit: also, I forgot, I can't wait until your podcast is up! I'm sure you'll make a video about where you're streaming. I'll definitely have to follow it!
Thank you so much for such an informative comment bro. I do like equinox, but my location is kinda raggedy. It doesn’t have all the nice amenities that most other locations have. The best I have in there is a steam room, which is nice for sure.
And yeah, the rent is pretty brutal but the terrace IS nice. I can’t deny that. We don’t use it as much as we should.
The subway does have a monthly pass, but it works out to be basically what I spend every month, so I don’t use it 😂 I think it’s a little cheaper than a car when factoring in all of the associated costs like gas and insurance as you noted.
I’m lowkey jealous that you’re out in Ohio. You like it?
And THANK YOU for the pod shoutout… I’ll have a video out this week discussing more about it 🤝🏻 it’ll be on apple music and spotify, as well as all episodes uploaded with video here on YT.
@@ForeverForwardPod Ohio is a strange place. I can list off a bunch of negative qualities this place has, but the people who live here it's definitely home, ya know? Like this state is a garbage dump, but it's OUR garbage dump. I can talk trash about it, but if someone from like Cali talked about Ohio I'd definitely defend my state! Haha
I'll definitely keep an eye out for the podcast! Definitely excited for it!
@@SausageMahoney-om5sy Aye man I love it - defend your turf! And thanks for the support ❤❤ means the world!
If u had a library card the museum would've been free
Great point! I should have a library card for so many reasons 📚
Very interesting....I hope you are also saving money so that you can if not move UP at least OUT. 3 roomies will get very old...30 is just around the corner. Enjoyed the video, interesting about the broker..not sure how that works, unless NYC makes you use a broker OR brokers have an IN on the best places. Been to NYC at least 10 times since 9/11, great city, alot to do. Good Luck!
Thank you, Joe 💪🏻💪🏻 greatly appreciated. I am definitely saving, and have the foresight to plan responsibly for the future. Moving in with my girlfriend (soon finance) this summer in the Upper West Side. You nailed it on the brokers… They’ve got the “IN” on the good spots.
Thank you for the well wishes! Best of luck to you as well 🤝🏻
I like the idea of living in NYC then I see the costs and then I’m like nah
I feel you bro 😂 if my career and girlfriend didn’t bring me here, I’d be out in Montana posted up on a ranch.
That's pricey! I lived a month in Hong Kong and it was like $800 for rent, but the apartment was much smaller. Now I live in a rural area and spend next to no money.
Jealous bro. It’s funny though, for me it’s always “grass is always greener.” When i’m in the city, I want to go back to the suburbs. When i’m in the suburbs, I wish I was in the city.
I guess the grass is greener where you water it. ⛳️
Wow... Sydney famously has some of the most expensive real estate in the world but I think that's because when they take the cost of different cities, they lump all of "New York" together, which probably includes a lot of cheaper regions, and thus doesn't reflect Manhattan... Because yeah, that's expensive.
Although, by not owning a car you're doing better. Cars are a necessity in a lot of Australia, and they are crazy expensive to run - like $400 AU a month just in tax, basically.
Yes, I bet it includes other areas of the city that are fairly affordable compared to proper Manhattan. And you do raise a good point on the car side of things - I’m SHOCKED that you have to pay that much in monthly taxes to own a car. I wonder if AU is trying to reduce the number of cars on the road…
Without that 50% discount equinox gym would be $260😮😮😮😮 ridiculous thank you for the video i would say people should visit the city they want to move to already have a job hired in or transfer their jobs and actually every month come from their city to the city they want to move just to see if they would like it this video helps but that’s ridiculous😂😂😂
I totally agree with you! That’s a great framework. And yes, $260 is crazy!😂 Thank you so much for checking it out, I appreciate you!!!
F NYC! Come to the promise land in Florida. You would get so much more for your money.
Great video. The polar express😂😂😂😂
you turned a studio into a 3 bedroom wtf
when life gives you lemons, make lemonade brother 🏡
@@ForeverForwardPod that would literally only make sense in new york city lol
@@Mike-zk7rh lmao. yes - you should see the ways people try and justify extremely high rent around here.
"Well you see, the reason this place costs $5,000 per month is that it has two windows" 😂😂
you gotta be making at least 10k a month right lol
Yeah I wish bro 😂 my take-home pay is way less than that. Saving money is really hard right now, but I built up a little cushion in other cities. This is a very temporary phase of my life that I’m trying to experience to the fullest, and then get up on outta here expeditiously 😂
@@ForeverForwardPod oh well make you sell those flex walls when you leave, don't give them to the landlord lol
@@Mike-zk7rh 100%. Those babies are getting sold off no doubt. I bought them, worst case I'm moving outta the place with the flex walls in tow 😂😂
Wtf nyc is expensive...
Oh yeah it is. Brutal. Are you in a city or more rural area?
@@ForeverForwardPod City (Ghent), but nowhere near as big as NY
A cost comparison:
$10/mth Planet Fitness
$1100/mth rent, 1 large bedroom, kitchen, living, solo renter... sans a terrace in Brooklyn. Views are now being blocked by new constructions. 😞🫣
~$200/mth for food. Entertainment goes up during Football and NBA season. Playoffs, can sometimes be a pocket killer.
~$60/mth for transportation. Subway to, Uber home.
~$12/glass of wine, ~$10/draft beer, ~$14 - $16/cocktail.
~Internet $50/mth, plus more for streaming services. 😞
~$150/mth utilities (gas, electric), higher in the summer when the AC is on. 🥶
Location, location, location = $$$$.
Man, what an informative and useful comment! Thank you for this… Location is clearly everything 😂 do you like Brooklyn? My girlfriend loves it and we hope to settle down there in a few years.
@@ForeverForwardPod I do love Brooklyn. It can be 'overwhelming' as every thing can be spaced out sometimes... unlike Manhattan. It is nice quiet, plus leaving the city to Brooklyn, makes it seems as if you are actually leaving work behind. 👍
@@jinkenz6459 It feel like a really nice hybrid between manhattan and the suburbs, which is why I'm so interested. I would love to be able to leave work behind!
