Going to school would have been a lot more affordable pretty much anywhere else in the country.

It's 'good' you made it.

Housing is the biggest issue in NYC. Hopefully you'll secure a place to live.

Unfortunately willingness to work isn't everything. You could work 80 hours a week and still barely afford it here. The majority of younger people in New York are from families with money.
The disparities in income and housing costs are what make New York City such a difficult place to navigate.

Take those risks. Good luck to you in it.
The system is stacked against you. Best wishes.

Haha. The "welcome to New York" sentiment in this thread is priceless. I guess he's not in Kansas (City) anymore.

So what is the question you're asking in this thread? Or is this just to let us know that after two years of other questions, you finally made it here? In any case, good luck to you and congrats on taking the leap.

My plan to move all of suburban white Americans into inner city neighborhoods of NYC is almost complete my master. My quest for lebensraum living space is almost in sight!
