It isn’t glamorous but if already here for a long time , it is hard to get out . You can get food at food pantries , food stamps , service ets and share a room with many people of find an illegal SRO. To me 6 figures sounds wonderful . I could afford my one place then but it is because I am used to struggling . In the scheme of things it that much in this city .

Yea I got the sense that OP wanted to live the sex in the city life style or the glamorized YouTube influencer life that you see plastered all over social media. I wouldn’t recommend anybody move to nyc just to scrape by when they can live comfortably wherever they were from originally. Nyc has its benefits, but nothing worth living under the poverty line for.
