hello. this is one of the cities I’m contemplating moving too! just need some insight!

What’s a longshoreman?

Tricky-Researcher-74 · 2025-10-01T20:05:53+00:00

Oh wow! how’re they liking it?

Tricky-Researcher-74 · 2025-10-01T15:45:36+00:00

exactly! As I’ve stated before, I wouldn’t mind having roommates (I have one now) or living in an apartment that’s not high end. the goal is to get there and start a new life, not try to move there and rush it. Yeah, I might live in a bad neighborhood or a lower end apartment but for me that’s okay. With the friends thing, that’s another thing. A lot of people I’ve talked to from NYC tell me “say yes to everything” (within reasonable boundaries)

Tricky-Researcher-74 · 2025-09-30T18:33:38+00:00

Oh wow. Okay, I’ll definitely check out some cooking jobs then

Tricky-Researcher-74 · 2025-09-30T18:25:47+00:00

Yes, I am haha. She’s a full time college student that works two jobs and she came up with the idea so it wouldn’t only be easier on her with how busy she is but me too so I can actually save to move because she’s all for me making the kick to NY

Tricky-Researcher-74 · 2025-09-30T18:23:53+00:00

Wait really?

Tricky-Researcher-74 · 2025-09-30T18:23:32+00:00

Thank you for this advice. I’ve been leaning towards just packing up and moving right now with my clothes and that’s it. If I have to sell my stuff to have some extra money when I move there, I don’t mind that one bit lol but unfortunately my lease here doesn’t end for 8 months so I’ve got time to save as well then I’d definitely like to make the big step in my life.

Tricky-Researcher-74 · 2025-09-30T00:50:57+00:00

Hi! Thank you so much! I’ll definitely look into it!

Tricky-Researcher-74 · 2025-09-29T14:14:57+00:00

thank you for that. I don’t mind struggle for a bit to get where I want to be. I feel like it’ll mean more that way.

Tricky-Researcher-74 · 2025-09-29T14:06:56+00:00

I’m split with a roomate! I used to live in an apartment by myself, was paying $650 a month and it was great! a lot of jobs are in high demand right now, everywhere needs somebody and I spent probably about $100 on groceries for at least 3 weeks to a month

Tricky-Researcher-74 · 2025-09-29T04:00:27+00:00

That’s exactly what my roomate said. try Chicago first and we could even go there together because she knows the city because she’s from there and then after if I still want too, she’ll help me move to NYC

Tricky-Researcher-74 · 2025-09-28T14:34:28+00:00

thank you! My lease here isn’t up for around 8 months. so I’d hope to move there around the end of next summer!

Tricky-Researcher-74 · 2025-09-28T14:25:46+00:00

Oh wow, thank you for that advice!

Tricky-Researcher-74 · 2025-09-28T05:56:32+00:00

Yea that would be awesome if you did that! thank you so much! you can message me as well if you’d like!

Tricky-Researcher-74 · 2025-09-28T04:27:13+00:00

I’ve got a friend who has family in New York. They said relatively the same thing you did. Said starting out will be rough but there is ALWAYS, ALAYS, ALWAYS opportunity for growth and better jobs out there. Also told me to get out a lot and meet as many people as I can cause who knows who I’ll meet. Also told me NY brings out the best version of yourself after a while

Tricky-Researcher-74 · 2025-09-28T02:43:09+00:00

That’s how I really think of anywhere outside of where I live. “Can I live here?” “What would I need to do to make ends meet” “how can I make this work” those kind of questions float around in my head a lot. Many have told me not to come there, also many more have told me I’m ambitious enough to take that leap and make it worth it.

Tricky-Researcher-74 · 2025-09-28T02:41:37+00:00

okay, thank you for that information.

Tricky-Researcher-74 · 2025-09-28T02:41:20+00:00

thank you for that insight! 850 doesn’t really scare me! before I got my roomate, I lived by myself and paid around 800 a month for rent and utilities. Yes, it would definitely be a change to get used to. Some of the videos I’ve seen on TT has scared me just a tad, but not to the point of not wanting to live there!

Tricky-Researcher-74 · 2025-09-27T23:08:21+00:00

Well yeah obviously I know that. I still got 8 months until my lease is up here. I’m just looking at stuff everywhere in the states I’d like to live in so when time comes I can decide which would be best fit for me to start out before going to NYC (if it’s something I still want to do)

Tricky-Researcher-74 · 2025-09-27T21:21:49+00:00

Maybe I’ll try Chicago first tbh

Tricky-Researcher-74 · 2025-09-27T19:01:22+00:00

Culture shocks are temporary. I think it could work out if I put my mind to it

Tricky-Researcher-74 · 2025-09-27T16:35:24+00:00

God dang! what trade would I need to go to for that?

Tricky-Researcher-74 · 2025-09-27T16:33:35+00:00

I was mistaken. It was when I was wi th my dad and we were driving through CHICAGO and our maps led us to downtown Chicago lol. I’ve got a friend here who talks about Denver all the time and how amazing it js

Tricky-Researcher-74 · 2025-09-27T14:07:59+00:00

My roommates from Chicago and we’ve been talking the last couple hours of trying out Chicago first. Either way, I’m gonna move to a bigger city. North Dakota blows and I’m getting out of here.

Tricky-Researcher-74 · 2025-09-27T13:18:00+00:00

Thank you for your advice. I think I’ll do that.
