A look at what it takes to live in New York City on a realistic budget! Comment below what type of NYC content you want to see in the New Year!!
Thanks for yet another good video Erik! Whats the name of the bomber jacket you are wearing?
Yes
@@benjaminronne-petersen2014 i wan to know that too lol
Best photography spots in Manhattan and the city! I am a photographer myself and I know there's more to this city! I am always looking for spots to keep pumping art! Awesome Video!
dumpster diving finding good food and useable items in the trash in manhattan
New York is the only city where you can see a Wall Street Banker screaming into his phone and a homeless man smoking weed at the same bus station
@Andrew Lynch But how can homeless people afford drugs?
@Andrew Lynch But how are they surviving then? After all they have to eat and drink from time to time
@@Tastypieinyourmouth the crack keeps them from staving
@Andrew Lynch I've lived in Manhattan for eighteen years now. I live right in midtown, and my former school was in the West Village, two places with a very high homelessness population. There definitely are some crackheads, but I promise you, a lot of these people aren't these drug addicted weirdos you're thinking of. I had so many homeless acquaintances while I was in high school, and none of them were former drug addicts or alcoholics. Please don't think of them as some useless druggies. Most of the time, the 'crackheads' that you see are just older homeless people who have developed severe mental health issues after spending so many years alone on the streets. Once you start to realize that they're not all psycho meth heads, it becomes easier to see who's genuinely struggling and needs help to get back on their feet.
nah u could see that in berlin anytime as well. happened to me multiple times on my way to school lol
I love all these people complaining that rent in NYC is way more expensive than their city. Of course, there's a reason no one is watching TH-cam videos about moving to Cleveland.
rnjbond Right😂
rnjbond 🤣🤣🤣🤣😩
Well logan paul lol
Yeah cause everyone lives in Cleveland right? 🙄 Funny how the people in NYC complain the most about it tho🤔
Amen!!!
Erik: *very affordable*
Me: *Thank god*
Erik: *Only 1900 dollars*
Me: *you for real though*
@Laura Brown YOOOOOOOOOO 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😶🌫️
thats actually considered cheap over here though
@@sushi7652 yeah, in my area we pay 2000
Thats just as expensive in Dublin, Ireland!
mine is 40$
"The rent is really affordable at $1,900"
*cries in Texas*
cries in bay area
😂😂
Lol I don't think people consider the pay difference living/working in NYC. The average teacher salary in NYC is $72,000 a year. The average teacher salary in Texas is $57,000 a year. Minimum wage in NYC is $15 per hour! Yes it is still more expensive, but not by as much more when you compare income. Also NYC has a lot more social safety net for people that for financially struggling than Texas does.
@@1435queen What kind of social safety net?
I'm looking at Marketing/Sales jobs (especially 6 months ago when the economy wasn't dead) within the area with base at 55k or 60k.
I'd be tempted to move just for the public transportation alone.
@@Beatle911 I work in marketing in NY. The first job I got paid $35K. Most jobs pay $50-$55K entry level in marketing. If a job can pay you less they will. NYC or not.
I'm wanting to move to NYC on a "realistic budget". So, after watching this, do I sell crack or just go the prostitution route?
Second option would be better
What do you look like? ;-)
i say you should do both
I'd do both if it'll help pay the rent. No shit it will.
Put them together, for every gram they buy one free blowey
My rent is $695. Hearing "just $1800" is ridiculous.
Mine is 1400$
However if you worked in New York you'd probably be earning more than what you are now
$1300 for a house in TX (4 bed, 3bath, 2 storey)
Mine is $800 a month for a new 4 bed, 2 bath brick house in the country, Australia.
mine $200
Any time I think about or visualize myself living in NYC I get emotional, am I the only one who does this?
nah man u aint alone
Not alone either
Let’s all get together and rent an apartment there
Emotional in what way? Anxious, exhilarated, frightened, etc.? Multiple answers are ok.
Look sister or brother, don’t dream! Know your worth! You can do anything with the right mindset! Who knows you could be the riches person in New York one day, very unlikely but possible
Bro, calling stuytown a sprawling neighbourhood of redbrick apartments is the nicest way ive ever hear anyone describe projects before in my life
😂😂😂😂
I just commented something similar. I’m like that’s nothing but projects😂
Ok youtube
I finally watched it
Tanzerlaubt Hello my friend 😂😂😂
Same
Just arrived in NYC today. I found a private room for only $55 per night. Although calling it a "room" is a stretch, more like a closet. But hey it'll do for a few days. Looking forward to exploring this fascinating city.
3 years later are you still in NYC? If so, how are things going living wise? Still in Manhattan or in one of the other burroughs or have you moved across the bridge to Jersey?
@@StephenDillardCarroll hes in india rn
I like how the guy wouldn’t even venture into Harlem or Chinatown
Hi Erik. That was a great video - showed a great deal of empathy for the ordinary person coming to New York - thank you and good for you. And thanks for mentioning the one in five - surely some kind of commitment to helping them could help to keep one's feet on the ground in New York.
And if you need a broker.....I know a guy ;)

i heard you'll be coming to my school to judge my class's business plans.
Homie said "they look pretty bland" and "they look like and institution" I think the word your lookin fo is "projects" 🤣🤣🤣
SWEAR TO GOD LMAO
Sti Town is THE OPPOSITE of the projects
clearly you've never been to Sti Town.
UncleOwen Me?
@@nataliahall236 no, I was agreeing with you. Sti Town is not the projects. It would have been had it not been in such a great location.
I wonder how HIMYM and Friends characters could afford livings by always hanging out at bar and cafe.
Especially friends Lmaoo they all had mediocre paying jobs in the beginning (Excluding Ross)
In the one episode, Monica admits that the apartment is rent-controlled for $400/month, it was her grandmother's passed down.
For HIMYM, they rent in early 2000's, Lily and Ted both work in decent jobs, Marshall has maybe a little money from his family, it "kinda" is possible though far fetched.
Everyone of us defines "realistic" or "affordable" in our own way but thanks for the tips. I am sure it will be of help to a lot of people .
"How do you live in ny with a realistic budget."
You don't.
I love your hair style
I want to live in NY so bad 😓😓
@@amyturcios8962 I live in NY alone coz I have a 140000$ per year job
Purvash Dangi damm bro what do u do
@@hoodiebeats5607 I am an MBA at Google for 10 months and stockbroker at Wall Street for 2 months now my annual income has been increased to 250k per year but thats not enough for me so me and my 2 friends have been working on doing a couple of startups together mostly we are gonna open 7 to 8 companies as hungry entrepreneurs and if it's successful the first year can make me something like 5.75 million and the next year wud be even more profitable if it works
Hope to hear from u soon
in wich universe is 1900 (for one bedroom!!!) per month affordable?
Marco_ R they offer special price for students. My friend at NYU used to get 2b apt for $2000 shared with another student.
Marco_ R it’s not. But when you live here $1900 for a location like Hell’s Kitchen in a one bedroom is beyond coveted. That dude was lucky to find that gem and probably shares with a gf or wife and split it down the middle.
I pay that much for a studio in La 🤦🏽♀️
CA
Have you ever lived in SF, that be cheap on a place in a 1st tier city
Thanks for this excellent NYC clip. I lived in NYC for 6 years in the early 2000, and believe me rental price haven’t gone up so dramatically
I love NYC, have lived here for about 10 years before moving to Sweden. NYC was hell a lot of fun, always things to do regardless what time it was and always have dates going on even none of us were serious. I was a manager in an accounting firm in my late 20s, paid 1800 to live in an one bedroom apt sharing with a roommate at midtown east.
But you know what, my savings was like nothing and I couldn’t even afford to travel around the world or even start a family - living in NYC makes you proud and learn how to survive but looking back now in my mid 30s, if I even didn’t move to NYC I would have already bought a nice house and living with my beautiful families and even starting a business. Move before you really know what you want in your life, NYC is indeed great but you will get lost if you just throw yourself in there.
“the bronx coming in at $33,000 per year”
“I know what you’re thinking.. ‘I’m making nowhere near that!’” ......that’s literally a dollar over minimum wage
Think he was speaking about the higher prices.
Minimum wage where ?
@@Cameron_7127 In NYC it's 15$ an hour. And it's still not enough
Lisa Baerga lol minimum wage here is like 16k a year...
@@angelgjr1999 where?
I don't get it..
Median households income 67 and landlords ask for 150k yearly income?!
Something's off.
Jazagivid people have been living in the buildings for a while
Gentrification
I thought the same haha. The way they ask (40x times) looks like NY is more expensive than big cities in 3rd world countries... which is not! You definitelly don't need 40x to live in NY.
This is an exaggeration, I have gotten multiple apartments in 3 boroughs without that requirement and got offered lease contracts.
@@ThiagoQuintoMartins Yeah, facts!!! No one would be living in NYC. Maybe these Stuytown sections. But, that poverty line thing is a fact. NYC pay to live & don't have money saved.
You can tell he's only seen things from the perspective of a wealthy person.
Not really, he’s being realistic. Someone making less than 30K a year will find it difficult. He’s trying to convey that if you want to live comfortably you have to be able to finance it
Sounds crazy, but if you don’t have a car it’s possible to live there.
@@fadijabo5387 Living comfortably means something different to everyone. Someone thats only seen things from a wealthy perspective is wayyy out of touch. Some people are just happy with what they have.
@@champ1114 Easy for you to say SuperMan, you could just fly to work.
You don't have to worry about insurance premiums.
@@SlingerMarshall Got me there Slinger!
I've been to over 40 countries, but have never been to the US. I have no intention of ever living in NYC but somehow I enjoyed your videos. This one and the others about expensive apartments in NYC.
He keep saying only like $2500 for a studio isn't a lot
Hahahaha
Lmao
quintilian been living in Hong Kong for almost a decade.. those prices are cute lol
(dying inside)
Kilak Hong Kong doesn’t offer what NY does
we are talking about manhattan... remember??
As someone who lives in the country side of NC, this low-key gives me anxiety...
fr. I don't plan on ever living in a big city, much less NY. I'm ok with being close to a city though
Shit i live in the exact opposite environment. I got me a 4 bedroom 2 bathroom house and my mortgage is less than 800
I'm in nc to i just don't live in a big city or town i just live in the country side but kinda wanna move
Native American Trust me, upstate and rural areas are much better than cities. Education, environment, and shelter in rural areas are much better. The city just feels like one big prison.
@@Andy-hz2ef in which state are you talking about
Pretty much answered every question I had in a simple to the point non theatrical video. Thanks dude!
Your explanation is simple and says it all type , that's the best description to explain
next video: LIVING IN NEW YORK on a UNREALISTIC BUDGET
Could be a good idea
ikr!

Thank you for this video. I am French and I have a dream to go to New York and live there. This video inspires me even more to go there. Looking forward to meeting you Eric
Dude I appreciate you acknowledging the large wage gap in nyc. This is really helpful - much love

Brilliant video Erik!
6 pounds will get you all of this, as long as you spend it at the Steam sale and you're fine with it all happening inside The Sims.
you wont need an car an NYC
there are no 5 star restaurants
It’s enough for nothing
It’s enough for maybe food for a day and that’s it
I live in north of New York City but still in New York State I live in a 4 bed 3 bath and in my head I am blown away by these prices!!! Thanks mom and dad 😂
A realistic budget will vary from person to person, but this is very informative. There are so many hidden neighborhoods that buyers and renters won't even look at
I’d love to live in New York, it’s an incredible city. But the financial impact would stop me seeing other places in the world and doing the things I love doing.
If you actually have an M5, just sell that, youll have rent for 2 years in nyc
Red brick buildings?
You mean the projects
Mohammed Siddique Hasan wait what’s the projects ?
@@suheidirodriguez6881 its the hood
It's stuy town. Not the projects
@Dankest memes Dank it is still very much the hood. You don't know what your talking about. That place he shows were not projects. They looked like projects but were not.
What's wrong with the projects anyway ? (honest question)
This is the exact video I've been looking for!
Thanks for this post and thinking about those looking to move to NYC but are on a budget. Awesome!
"I've never been to stuytown, but my first reaction is it's so peaceful and quiet" yeah uh you might wanna check again after the sun goes down buddy

Live in the projects

@Torian Allen San Francisco is out of control with their real estate due to the surge in Silicon Valley. But, NYC rent is no laughing matter. People can afford to own.
Watch the video instead of complaining. He showed several options for people that can't afford outrages rents, and having a roomate - which he suggested - is a very real suggestion and something a lot of New Yorkers do when starting out.
Everyone here bragging about their rent, my small-town 1-bedroom apartment is exactly $400/mo
That said, living in New York sounds like a dream worth the hustle.
A 100qm apartment in the 21. district of Vienna will cost you about 500€ a month. I don't understand how people can afford to spend 3.5k month, that's more than a engineers monthly income before tax.
This is SO helpful! Thank you 🙏
I can get so sick of all the “career climbing” thoughts of life. But I do not like the nihilistic approach either. That’s why I could sadly never live in New York. For living in that city means that your main passion in life is to grind (and life itself gets put on the back burner) and for me living my life in New York would be just enough without the thoughts of making a name of myself! I would partake and enjoy the small things (walking the parks, people watching, admiring and expiring life) without the stress of financial success! That’s why New York is a wonderful travel destination but not a home.
Jimmy Tatresia Yes, I totally agree with you!!!, Besides if you already make 100k a year, you can live the luxury life in a state like Arizona, with space, fresh air, affordable homes and mortgages (the average house is 200k in Tucson) a nice car and spare money to visit new york city every year if I want.
Speak for yourself, thousands of people are grinding away and living their life as well. Will agree that for most we’re long term tourists in NYC and will eventually leave one day but till then party on, live in the center of the universe and enjoy so you can tell your grandkids awesome stories one day.
Just this New Year, i had an epiphany. I never wanted to work hard. New York was in my dreamscapes. But now, i realized I don't wanna be working and putting my life on the side. I wanna live normally. Tired of castles in the air, chasing pretty rainbows. I actually want a small life somewhere in seclusion. So scratch NYC. Maybe I'll just visit it soon for a 10 day tour take all pics in every spot, and then go back to my cave dwelling place, a happy man
You can get a normal salary job and live here. You don’t have to grind it out.
@@AtomicBoo For the same job you don't necessarily make the same everywhere. 100K job in NY might be 50K in Arizona.
I'm so glad I lived in NY in my late teens and early 20's as a nanny cause there's no way I could afford to live there now. Those rent prices are ridiculous...And definitely not affordable unless jobs pay extremely well there. That's a video idea ... What does the average Joe get paid an hour in New York for regular jobs such as Janitor, hotel housekeepers, Retail sales, etc.
those folks get paid fine. they just can't live in the city. gotta live way out on the end of the train and buslines
Great video ... I've seen a video of y before and your videos are always very good ! :)
I wanna do Broadway when I’m older so this is very helpful!! Thank you 😊
I LOVE the fact that you're so attentive to your subscribers and creating more content about New York. I also like the way you incorporate the sponsorships in your videos, they make sense and don't bother me at all as a viewer, compared to other TH-cam channels. Anyway, that was a great video :)
Great courses is very legit, thanks for the positivity 🤙🏼
Swing and a miss here. Harlem, Hamilton Heights, Sugar Hill, Washington Heights, and Inwood are all on the island of Manhattan and are more affordable than the locations in this video. Anyone moving to Manhattan: do your own research or you will grossly overpay. NYTimes has a real estate section. Start there.
Yes! I'm like why do these people think Manhattan is only below 125th or 96th! But then again it might be a good thing because the more people look at Northern Manhattan the higher the rents and those neighborhoods are already seeing gentrification.
The reason is crime my friend, he doesn’t want to be responsible for some midwestern kid getting hurt😕 btw I am a New Yorker .
who tf wants to live in harlem lmao
People only look at 125th and below, I'm okay with that! Don't tell people about these other locations because they can do their own research.
@@ixamxmsright Manhattan has crime from top to bottom.
I lived in New York in 2011, there are so many memories!
Erik I love you, thank you for doing this video! ❤❤❤
I’m 16 and I’m watching this and more videos just because I’m in love with this city and I hope I’ll live there in the future. I wish I could build my future life there. I’ve been in NYC once and I’m already in love.
I'm 13, and I wanna live there too lol
@@feet4life155 d o n t
Laura Anderson same lol
same ahhhh
@@feet4life155 let us rent apartment together
loving all of your new york videos, but not sure how you did your research on this one because as a canadian who moved to new york 3 years ago and had an extremely hard time getting an apartment because of what you mentioned about 40x the rent (which they still want to check American credit and i only had canadian) / needing a guarantor (which has to be an American to all my international peeps) i found that the most affordable places in manhattan were Harlem, Lower East Side(chinatown) and Hell's Kitchen(which can run expensive). I got lucky and found a place off of craigslist that was newly renovated and 2350 for a two bedroom pre-war building mid-town/ upper east side. We answered the ad, signed, and handed in money that same night. But that was after a month of sleeping under my desk at work, and couch surfing and sometimes even staying awake in the busiest hotel lobbies... Stuy-town was an extortion (albeit nice area) and theater district was no where near affordable if we're talking a realistic budget. just my 2 cents.
you slept at work? How did you get away with that? How did you even survive? Jeezus
@@21guitarworld her bosses live there too, and she's probably a good employee. Realistically, if you're not basically guaranteed a near 6 figure job, moving to NYC and actually enjoying it is extremely difficult, and arguably near impossible. Definitely why they say if you can make it there, you can make it anywhere
@@21guitarworld small company with an office key that works 24 hours 7 days a week! but i only did it twice cause it was obviously extremely uncomfortable and also didn't realize until 2 months into working there we fully had a couch in the office. i survived off dollar pizza... that's the good thing about NYC.. the dollar pizza and ramen noodles and my first paycheck after two weeks
@@dbstewart86 nooo my bosses definitely did not live there they had no idea lol but yes if you can make it there you can make it anywhereeeee
I agree, I would add Harlem/ upper west side border( also known as morning side) is really good and relatively safe. You can find good deals in theatre district but its way to busy and touristy! I would avoid it. Another good "cheaper" area is by the UN building but again its loud. I also found found Stuy town to be quite expensive actually but it is close to really good bars. My favorite area was morningside because its quiet and close to the non touristy side of central park, I also find the west side is prettier because of the beautiful hudson river. I lived in the east harlem side too but I found it to be okay, not very safe and overpriced. In the end I found that manhattan is much more affordable and doable with roommates. Also to those moving here never forget that its so easy to go around the city, by bus, train or even walking. you do a lot of walking and don't even notice it! Don't worry if the location seems "far away". My best years were in NYC. If you get the chance to live there, I would say go for it.
I always like the content of NYC
Super Video! 👌💪 I enjoy your videos! 💪

In New York checking the rental prices I think most of you are paying way too much, it’s realistic to get a property for $1200-1600s a month, try London in similar areas and I guarantee you it’s way higher

Stuytown is what a projects would be if they didn’t have a bad rep and were actually well maintained.
$2,600 to live in the projects? How is this affordable? You can live in a 5drm/5bath in my hometown and would be paying toward home ownership in an exclusive subdivision with green space.
stuy town is nice. it was built as public housing for military vets after the war.

Hey Erik, I recently found your channel and I absolutely love it! Keep up the amazing work! I was wondering how do you film with a drone in NYC? I am planning a trip this year and I really want to bring my drone, but I read that it is not allowed to fly except for some parks... Any information from locals would be of much help.
Thank you in advance!
Regards from Denmark!

Stuytown is slowly renovating each and every apartment. People who bought those apartment years ago are still paying what it originally was. But new buyers now can be lookin up to 6k a month
I often watch Nelson’s videos. New York was so different in the 80’s and 90’s. I liked the artist and creative vibe of Old New York. .
Yes, I love Nelson Sullivan Videos,Nelson Home (West Village)Cafe and Friends (Liz Lizzard,Eric others)East Village-Tompkins Square Park

This video is just sublime. Informative, straight to point and great cinematography as well editing. 10/10
mso008 yes start to the point and so on like you said but all he clearly doesn’t know anything about Manhattan or Nyc. There are many more places far cheaper to rent in the city. Please look elsewhere for options, the videos may not be as well put together but I would rather have correct info then just nonsense
Realistic apartment in Queens, BK and BX would be nice...there more to NYC than Manhattan.
U realize Brooklyn can cost more then nyc
@@hayeslord3277 First of all, Brooklyn is apart of NYC. Second, apartment in Brooklyn cost around $700 a month.

Born in NYC in 1977 and still in NYC. The rents are higher!!! GOOD LUCK!
Walked through the Stuyvesant Town area a few weeks ago, everybody was filling buckets with water from fire hydrants on the street because of the issues with water in these buildings. Not a incident, these issues are regular due to bad maintenance. For +2K rent I would go to Brooklyn/Long island/Queens and get some new construction rental close to a express train station like the 1, A, C, E etc.
Love the video, filming a cost of living in Germany right now :)
Loving your vids erik! keep up the great work :)
I’ve always wanted to live in Manhattan, but for my first time renting should I look into upper Manhattan or the other boroughs?
Def other boroughs unless you get super lucky.
I literally freaked out over the black squirrel at 4:21, because I’ve never seen one till now lol
Living in NYC is super hard. That's why they say if you can make it here you can make it anywhere. I am a NYer born and bred, I currently live in GA. I couldn't afford NY. Went to college, got my degree, get a decent job but I couldn't even afford to live in Hells Kitchen. I lived in the Bronx. Yeah I had a 2 bedroom, 1 bath but my building was absolutely run down, ghetto and the neighborhood was a dump. Just to live there I had to have damn near perfect credit and make way over what I was making. Its difficult to think about having roommates if you have children. It's hard, but its also about who you know and how can you manipulate things to work in your favor. Unfortunately, some Landlords don't rent to black people or sometimes they are slum lords. If you are looking to move to NY, I wish you luck!
I think the video was for 18-30 year olds who don't have or WANT kids in the first place. I'd definitely choose to live in NY and NO kids even in my 30's and 40's... life's too short.
Living in NY is not hard 😭😭😭 shittin me?
Well, cause you have kids?? If you choose to have kids, upgrade your job. Or else you have do so what you did, move.

Having a brownstone townhouse in either greenwhich village or park slope is the dream for me 🤩🤩🤩🤩, being in the most iconic city in America (I am a native new yorker) being around it all, lots of opportunities plus not needing a car sounds really nice cause from experience having a car is an expensive responsibility but it's where I've always wanted to live. I wanna make it in manhattan
I love how you gotta be strapped in everything in NYC when buying an apartment.
One needs to familiarize themselves with the community by reading the paper, watching WPIX-11 news etc to get a feel for the crime levels, local rules about parking, transportation, grocery stores etc.

Born and Raised in NYC. Came to Scottsdale,AZ for 5 years. Planning to go back to nyc in 2022 because I learned comfort does not equal quality of life and feeling the LIFE of a city like that!

That squirrel @4:22 is trying to dodge quite a lot of cigarette butts
You have to keep in mind HOA fees or maintenance fees can add 800 to as much as 1800 on top of the rent each month, and that's in any borough.
