How to live in Manhattan
It made me
 "It hasn't always been easy, but it has made me happier than I have been in a long time."
How I did it: I moved in with my mother for a year to save money. I saved as much cash as I could for six months. I moved with six thousand dollars to my name and it took most of that to secure an apartment. I live with a friend from college and I got a survival job almost immediately. If you want to move to NYC you absolutely can do it! Lessons & tips: Save all the money you can. Move with at least $5,000. Stay at least a year and see how easy it becomes once you are used to city living.

How I did it: After growing up in Jersey, barely thirty minutes outside of New York City, and spending twenty-one years romanticizing about the place, I finally made the move into the big apple about seven months ago. I have a very typical twenty-something living situation. A small place shared with two people. I live on the Upper East Side, a ridiculous place, and nothing like the places I had initially envisioned when I though… Read how I did it…
Julibee is trying.
ever since i went to manhattan for spring awakening in august 2007, i’ve fallen in love with the city. it’s the only place where i truly don’t mind all of the crowds of people, and i absolutely adore central park. plus manhattan has the theaters, and i want so much to be able to just wake up in the morning and decide to go see a show.
maybe for college?
me and my cousin have been planning this since my freshman year.
with or without her im gonna end up there.
I finally moved to Manhattan – I lived in the East Village – best time of my life.
I have slept on the kitchen floor of a tiny manhattan apartment when I was passing through backpacking. I wanna go back and sleep on a nice bed in my own room there for a while. NYC rocks.
If you’re going to have the true NYC experience, be prepared to pay for it.
To be perfectly honest, you’ll pay a ton of money for not much space or comfort… but its fine. People in NYC generally regard their apartments as a place to keep their stuff and lay their head down at night. It doesn’t need to be the Taj Mahal.
I always considered the expense a small price to pay to avoid some hellish commute to an outer borough or New Jersey. I walked home from all but the farthest of my jobs – no subway for me!
haven’t been there yet. but am at least in the same country. and it doesn’t matter anymore,where I live,every place is jus the same.
Living in a loft in Manhattan, with a spectacular view of Times Square has been a life long fantasy of mine. I even have a mental picture of what the place would look like, how I would decorate it, the sounds that I hear coming from the NY traffic. I love it!!
If things go well next year, I plan on looking for a loft there and just having it for when I travel to the East Coast.
I actually lived in Manhattan for 5 years. Then had to move because it was becoming too expensive. I miss it so much. I can’t understand people who say they hate Manhattan and NYC in general. I love this place.
I’ve always for my WHOLE life wanted to live in Manhattan; I don’t even know why. I can’t wait to go :)
