Is Living in Manhattan that hard?
I really wanna live in Manhattan when i'm older, but i've been told that it's really hard to get a job there and that i'd really struggle with paying rent on an apartment near Times sqare.
Is it really that hard to earn a living in Manhattan?

Living anywhere in NYC is generally more expensive than most other places in the U.S. But the pay rate there is also higher. For example, you might pay about $1500 for an apartment in Manhattan. But you are also making $14 or $15/hr rather than $8/hr where you live now. See what I'm saying? Its still a more expensive, but it kinda evens out.
And I definately agree with one of the other people that answered that you should definately try to have at least 1 roomate to split costs with. Its definately tough to live alone in NYC, especially when your just starting out.
Good luck and feel free to ask me anything else. My family lives in NYC.

Living anywhere now-a-days is hard. I just moved to Los Angeles two months ago, and I'm struggling so much. However, I moved in with my boyfriend and have a place to stay so my worries are mostly about jobs & school.
I can tell you right now that Manhattan is a really expensive place to live. You would need to get into a place with roommates. You can put ads up to look for one, or maybe if you make a friend & they're looking for someone to move in you can do that too. As far as finding a job goes, that's hard whether you're in Manhattan or whether you're in some really small town. The economy is suffering tremendously & getting a job during this period is going to be really difficult and almost impossible. I'm going back to school first before I get a job because I've tried for 2 months and nobody has been calling back. No doubt I'll keep trying though until school comes.
So yeah, it's hard to earn a living in Manhattan. It's hard to earn a living anywhere.

Moving anywhere new is hard.
However if you plan it just right everything will work out fine. If I were you though I'd make sure I had something like family to fall back on just incase you can't make your payments and need to move out.
But don't let what other people say to you influence your decision too much. If it's your dream then go for it and don't let anyone stop you, because if you don't you'll always wonder what if?
