Tiny Places
I had heard it expressed as a joke among friends, on television, and even at the movies, but I had no idea the truth and the reality until I arrived in the city. I just moved to the big apple. Yes, I moved to New York City.
My family about had a cow when their little Oklahoma girl made the decision to seek out an exciting life, but I couldn’t take Tulsa any longer. After spending an entire day apartment hunting and discovering how little space I would receive for a wheel barrel full of money, I almost thought I’d failed on my quest. My real estate agent and I about fell off our bar stools when we received a call saying one of our offers on an apartment had been accepted.
I am now the proud renter of six hundred square feet of space in Manhattan. For the price I am paying in rent, I won’t have enough money to eat. And what little money I do have will have to go toward the purchase of a daybed that can double as a couch. Any New York rentals I can afford has no room for my giant California king size bed. I should have held a yard sale before leaving Oklahoma.

I was thinking about moving to New York but I dont know if I can afford it. I want to live in New York city so I know it is pretty expenisve. Maybe I will look other places because I need more that 600 square feet of space.
Did you not think New York was going to be expenisve? I moved to New York city for about 3 months and ended up moving back home because I just could not afford it. I hope everything works out!
I love New York. I want to move there so bad but noone in my family will. I have been trying to talk them into moving for years now. I think I am just going to go look at places by myself and see what I can find! Good Luck have fun in New York.
I moved to New York for about a month then had to leave. I was not expecting things to be so expensive. I loved living there I just could not afford it. I hope everything works out for you!
I have a day bed in my New York apartment and I love it. My apartment is not big at all so a daybed is great because I use it as a couch and a bed. I hope everything works out for you. It is going to be hard at first but keep going because New York is a great place to live.
