    Jobs & Apartments, the hardest part of NYC

    The first thing I have to do is get a job in the city. This is difficult because there are 8 million people competing for all of the jobs in only a 300 square mile radius. Not to mention the people who drive in from the Tri-State Area.

    Luckily, I live way below my means, so the job I go after doesn't need to pay as much as I'm making here in Dallas. I have roughly estimated that I'll need $1400 for the smallest apartment I can find. If I bring in 35K, I should have enough to squeak by after taxes. I always plan for the worst case scenario.
