live in New York City

finally making the move. august 26 i leave toledo ohio, and movie into manhattan august 27. living on east 23rd street. couldnt be happier!

i have been planning on moving to nyc for quite a few years now… and i’m getting near moving time (summer 06) i’m getting all of my bills paid off, starting to buy things that i’ll need, etc etc… but now everyone is telling me that i won’t be able to afford it because i have no idea how expensive taxes and stuff are there. I’ve been there a couple of times and i’m clearly aware of the high cost of living, but i do know of a million places where things aren’t overpriced at all. i’ve done plenty of research these past few years; and the only thing i’m having trouble finding are about how much i’m going to be paying for water/heat/electricity. if anyone has any input about these things, b/c i know i’ll be spending around 800-1000ish for a studio apartment, that would be great. maybe anybody that is in search for a roommate this summer in nyc let me know as well! i’d prefer to live alone but hey if it’s gonna help out the payments i can compromise lol.
