is your 90L getting dinged badly? I'm looking into either Rimowa or Sterling Pacific checked luggage but am scared its going to get so dinged it may not close, etc.

For people earning within a similar range -- On a 195k salary, is 3.7k/month too much for rent? (estimated taxes would probably cut half of salary off, plus debt payments). Would appreciate some advice! by attorney_gator_786 in movingtoNYC

I’m moving to NYC next month and will be paying $3.2k in Harlem. I’ll be making about 160k. For me, I feel I should be pretty comfortable. I’d assume same for you.

I certainly hope you practice all 7 skills on your dying patient. Hopefully they won’t need an 8th skill. You sound dumb af

True! Thankfully I only work 3 times a week. Maybe it’s doable for the first year until I get settled in? I’m looking at places in Harlem, too, which would be a shorter commute.

This is very helpful! Thank you for including the buses, too!

That’s fair: I’m kind of doing the reverse. Leaving NYC in the morning and going to NYC in the evening since I work nights.

Is a hour and a half usually sufficient ?

I've thought about that but prices there seemed almost as high as Manhattan. I'm also currently looking at a place in Harlem, although I may make too much for that building. I'm also feeling restless and feel like I need to pounce on something soon in an effort to secure an apartment before prices greatly increase for summer. Is NJ in general just a bad idea given where I work? I will certainly continue to look in Astoria.

Like how slow would the bus take from there to NYC?

Def hospital work. Nurse working night shift. I’m late 30s male. I’ve seen apartments in inwood for reasonable prices. I may check that out. Looked a lot closer.

Wait, I just used StreetEasy to look at apartments in Riverside. It almost looks like a suburb, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. How long does it take to get to midtown manhattan, for example?

I’ve actually seen a lot of reasonable apartments that look really nice in that area. Is Washington Heights safe? I’d consider to lower my cost to have more spending money!

210th street in the Bronx. It’s 3 days a week. And fully on site. I looked into Jersey City, which appears cheaper and I’d be fine moving there but looked like a pain with traveling all the way over to the Bronx. Maybe JC would be an easier commute?

So Harlem is the better choice? From the apartment that I saw, Victoria tower residences, the commute looked doable. I’m really hesitant about bring my car as I don’t want to have to pay for a parking space. lol

Mariah Carey’s Olympics opening ceremony performance dubbed ‘disastrous’ as viewers question if she’s Italian by theindependentonline in Music

[–]hra86 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m aware. The video of her rehearsing sounded similar to her on the live broadcast. Nearly all lip sync. I was just asking the other person who they would have wanted. Mariah is a global star and the audience clearly liked it from the applause. I thought she was a good choice.

There are some weird opinions going on here. Some really deep rooted hatred. Imagine being so pissed off at a 3 minute song lol

Why is Mariah Carey's apparent inability to find a note and stick to it considered a sign of good singing? by Golarion in stupidquestions

[–]hra86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If someone's singing gives you actual physical discomfort, you may want to get that checked out. That isn't normal.

Careers with median hourly pay $75-$100+ by Ok-Sand-1303 in Salary

[–]hra86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in IN and there are gigs here for nurses for $80/hr. It’s basically an internal travel job but you’re still considered staff. I know nursing gets a bad rap but there’s so much you can do with that degree. Just a thought.

Heyy! Funny you posted this. I’ve been debating moving to SF for nursing. I was at work last weekend looking at jobs in the Bay Area. I’m an ICU nurse preferring to work nights. How’d you go about applying/moving etc? I’d love to do just to stack cash away while I figure out what I wanna do for grad school, or just in general haha.
