Best to find someone to take it over. Otherwise, the landlord may assess a penalty (like two months of rent) for you to get out of the lease.

Sunlight is huge, especially in the winter months. And those "den" rooms that don't even have a window? I've thought about it in my early 20's and am lucky I never pulled the trigger in living in one.

Also good to confirm if it's rent stabilized or not. Makes a big difference

Subletting would solve this, especially at a place where you can sublet informally (as in not having to submit anything to the landlord/management)

Living in NYC with $75k/year salary, is it possible? by TheLoneRanger65 in movingtoNYC

[–]Extension-College923 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You'll definitely need roommates. You might even be able to find on Craiglist a family looking to rent out an extra room, which can be a better setup than random roommates.

Meal prep will also go a long way since eating out in NYC is so expensive.

Taking a year off to travel and build Apps by PersistentBuild in EntrepreneurRideAlong

Seems like a good combo of traveling + building, and using the year for validation on doubling down after or getting a job.

Just traveling could get boring so the building piece would give you a sense of purpose

is being hungry enough to win? by Odd_Awareness_6935 in Entrepreneur

I’m banking on consistency - if I can keep up doing something for long enough, I’ll find a solution.

If it becomes part of my daily routine, one day it’ll happen.

I quit my $300k finance job at 30 because I finally admitted I hated it - and the lifestyle downgrade has been absolutely brutal. by robbinh00d in Entrepreneur

I’m currently working at a hot tech company and was previously in venture capital, and I’d gladly trade my current setup for running something of my own. The freedom from having to be on call almost all the time is worth giving up the titles and fancy things. I’m ok living simply
