    NYC is very expensive but one good thing is they have tons of restaurants at different price points. I live in DC right now and there has been an explosion of very high end dining and cocktail bars. Sometimes you don’t want to go to a fast food or fast casual place, but want a sit down restaurant but don’t want to completely break the bank. Harder to find more moderate places here. Never had that problem in NYC especially in Brooklyn and the East Village. You have so many options at all price points.

    Cost of eating was reasonable during my last NY visit. The alcohol is what shocked me. $16 cocktails is what I'd expect at a high priced concert. $5 beer and $6-$8 cocktails are bar prices here (Kansas City). 4 people having a couple drinks was automatically $150. Absolutely nuts.

    Currently in NYC from the Uk staying in Hell’s Kitchen and Omg the cost of everything 😮 the exchange rate is almost at £1. -$1 at the moment so we really notice it. Back home 4 pints of milk £1.15, a loaf of bread £1, my unlimited mobile phone which I can use anywhere in Europe £12.99 per month! Cocktails £6 to maybe £10. Despite watching most of your videos and sticking to the “do not doos” and feeling pretty savie I feel like they see us coming at every juncture - the hotdog sellers charging us $6 a hotdog or doubling the prices of slices 🤣🤣. But I do have to say thank you thank you for the China town tips - today we went to “Fried Dumplings” and agreed it was the best $5 we’ve spent since we got here 👌👌 we’re also taking your advice on Beasts and Butterflies tonight xxx

    You should be hitting 350K soon!
    Your owner probably has not raised your rent
    because you pay on time and you don't cause problems.its better to keep a good tenant and not raise rent then raise the rent snd get bad tenants
    For groceries I often buy store brands which are cheaper and just as good.

I said no because of all the cultural and transportation amenities I am close to. That was the value to me.

    Well I don't know what to do man, right now I don't have to overwork at my single job but I'm forced to do 3 jobs because the cost of living has gotten out of hand because of the economy. I do not have any friends or family I can rely on to support me so the only thing left for me to do is work 3 jobs to make as much money as possible. I wake up at 6.30 am and sleep at 3am every day and work the entire time, also on the weekends. My brother is dead and I have to take care of his child, the mother doesn't want the child. She is luckily 17 and very independant, she can cook, clean, wash clothes, etc. I taught her everything. I barely see her. She says it's like I don't exist. It's hard, but I don't know what to do?
    If I stop, the economy is gonna kick my ass. I can't stop. I have to take care of my niece, I have to take care of my bills, I have to bring food to the table. I can't lose my appartment which I am renting. There is no way out. Even if I ware to take sick leave and go to a doc it wouldn't make any difference, because there wouldn't be sufficient money coming in.
    I have to take anxiety meds, anti depression meds, sleeping meds and even 0.25mg of xanax daily to cope with the stress and overwork.

    I won't be able to look at my TD Bank parking lot again without thinking about pizza, so thanks! 😆 As for one of the costs - I'm in British Columbia and my car insurance for the year was $1151 CDN, about $864 U.S. I'm sure it's cheaper in other parts of Canada, but for a year that's not bad.

    Wow, those rent numbers are a bit shocking, even though I used to live in New York years ago. I have a house right in downtown Toronto with a front and back yard and separate garage, 2 1/2 storeys, 3 bedrooms and office and a basement and my mortgage is $1,400/month CDN. Plus utilities and property tax of course. I feel very lucky to own land - the lot is 15'x115'. During Covid lockdown having a backyard and a front porch and a park next door was truly a benefit. Of course housing prices have gone up since I purchased in 2005 and many people choose to go with a condo unit. That health insurance number is crazy too. What Ontario doesn't cover for health care (it covers a lot) luckily my partner has a great plan that covers us both through his office. Prescriptions are usually free or a few bucks, dental and eye exams are covered, and surprisingly massage therapy. Otherwise the province covers doctors, emergency, telehealth services etc through our taxes, no matter your income, you just need an Ontario health card or if you are down on your luck without a card (home address) there are free clinics. The NYC grocery prices seem pretty much on par (same or similar numbers but in Canadian dollars). I don't have a car, but if I add up the occasional Uber trip, and then public transit, no comparison - so much less cost. Toronto transit sometimes leaves something to be desired (crowded at rush hour, sometimes a streetcar takes a while etc), but not bad. I think it is currently $3.20 CDN per trip and you can transfer free within the system within 2 hours. Overall, if you are buying a first house and want to be in downtown Toronto, it will cost a pretty penny especially if you need to renovate and seems to be further and further out of the reach of young couples, which is why so many new condos are being built. Still, Toronto is amazing, but if I could afford it I am always a bit of a New Yorker at heart. By the by, I have friends in Park Slope and I am sure you know this (and congratulations!) apply for kindergarten and schools really early if you haven't already! I was told that it can really be a long wait list for a school near you that you like. Anyway, sorry for rambling.

    As a Canadian living in BC, the costs aren't shocking to me, but instead on par with here. Of course, we don't have basic health insurance costs (dental and optical aren't covered by provincial Medicare) and our car insurance is much lower(at least mine is). The baby is adorable.

I’ve yet to find NYC restaurant/cafe/deli prices more expensive than other places I’ve lived or traveled. Grocery store prices may be higher. BUT I find prices for eating out in NYC vs. other highly populated cities in U.S. to be comparable.
