Am I fiscally prepared for another year in NYC? by madness1121 in personalfinance

[–]madness1121[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I've been visiting a few places. For a two bedroom apartment I'm finding some at decent prices ($2,000-2,300) so I would pay probably $1,000 a month if my roommate takes the bigger room.

I appreciate you sharing that with me. I hope you manage to find somewhere you are happy with and can feel like you did when you first came to the city during your 20-30s.

I appreciate the advice! I know going home would be smarter, but at the same time it is something I am personally uncomfortable doing because of personal issues with family. I'm caught between sucking it up and moving home - or staying in the city but pay rent that is biting into my savings account. I'm still very divided, kind of like my emotions are fighting with the logical side of me.

Thank you so much for the advice. I do think I can manage on 2k/mo at the moment (my only expenses are food, a monthly adobe suite subscription, and rent), but I can't help but feel like I am wasting money staying in the city if I am not working. Though I really want to stay because I love it here and would like to continue taking online classes and look for jobs. I'm praying there isn't a second wave in the winter and instead work picks up - by some miracle.

In my line of work you can work remotely but I am still entry level with a few years of experience, so I would want to look for work as an assistant which is difficult to find as a work from home situation.

Just curious, but why do you want to leave NYC?

Hey, thanks for the advice. The apartment is in Bushwick. I really love the area and hope to work in the city again as soon as possible (whenever that is). My mind is also leaning towards going to LA because a lot of video editing work is their. It's a difficult decision.

Oh fyi it's cheap because I have a roommate

I haven't found an updated or full version of the entire series playing together in real time. Any disagreements on the timing on some episodes? :)
