What $100 for electricity in nyc 😮😮 I pay $20.65 a month, technically it’s only $18 something plus two dollars in tax, for a one bedroom in Minneapolis.

THIS IS AWESOME. I love that you added the dining table, I think it gives it more of elevated feel when you’re eating at the table some nights. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with broker’s fee when it helps you lock in SUCH a great DEAL! 🎉 thank you for sharing your monthly breakdown, it’s good to see the electricity costs . I am seeking an artist’s loft so this helps me a lot. Cheers.

Stay in BK and save your money.

Midtown a place you go to chill, not to live. If you live there, you're going to be sick and tired bumping into tourist lol. That 4th apt, I was like you really want to live a block from Times Sq lol. BK I love. I actually never left BK ever since I moved to NYC. I think you made the best decision. You have a car so you're good. Queens is cool. I think you might like Forest Hills or even Astoria.

Don't put that "getting laid off" stuff in the air like, I am gonna always hope that doesn't happen to anyone man :(

Don't do it! Queens NY looks like a dump.

Where did you find all those options? Which platform did you use?

Sorry, I like the American accent more.

A lot of ppl in newyork talk about how high their prices are... but you dont have to have a car.... dont say for insurance , gas , and a car note .. that's thousands per month you're saving

Try finding a job more downtown. Living in the city will be a pain especially if it’s 1k more and you get pests. My first apartment I had roaches and it was a nightmare

Dev you need to do what's best for you.

Make video about Dating in NYC>.

Why would you pay a premium to life in such a shitty area.

move to astoria....i'm four stops from the city and its good vibes over here.

great decision.

Just from this video, harlem sounds like it maybe a good fit for you.

You're moving closer to work, meanwhile I moved to a whole another country away from work 😂

I used to live in Brooklyn. Now, I live in Manhattan. If you're gonna move to The City. Get rid of the car. You won't need a can, living in Manhattan.

Love the different places you explored, and great point about not breaking the lease, but got experience knowing what you may face when looking when you can move. I'd suggest since you work in Midtown, you'd have options closer to the west side on the Hudson (which should be quieter), or commute from the north since you'd have 123 and AC for transit -- even though you want to not commute, it should be shorter instead of all the way over in Brooklyn.

What parts of Brooklyn do you recommend for a young person that enjoy coffee shops and bars?

Any tips on landing a tech job in NYC for a laid off swe?

I love BK!!!

Living in new York is crazy. Absolutely not.

The British accent fooled me in the beginning 😂 Great video!

The rent in NYC is ridiculous ..

try either jamaica queens or yonkers its only 1 -2 stops on lirr or metro north less than 20 mins to midtown

Literally! 😂

Queens is the answer! 🎉

Hugs from 🇧🇷

This was great insight into how much apartments costs in Manhattan and what you get for the price

Thank you for sharing your trip. Very nice.😊

9:19 I guess this isn't a London thing or even a UK thing but property as I'm sure you know here has become a business without the obligation to see it as a moral obligation to see owning to rent as a social responsibility. It's understandable if there's heavy damage but as you said people have left properties virtually as they got it and it's like the landlord is so greedy they were always looking for an excuse to keep some or all of the tenants deposit. The sad thing is that deposit would be going towards the tenants' next rental, whereas as minor wear and tear should be absorbed by the landlord.

Portugal is Fantastic! The cost of living is cheap; but the People of Portugal is what makes it so great. Unlike Brazil, the majority of the People you meet all over the country speaks fluent English. So it’s very easy to integrate into. Also, its something about their Society - Really Portuguese Speaking Societies in General - Angola, Cape Verde, Brazil - where the Average Person you meet goes out of their way to make you feel welcome and happier than you were before you started speaking to them! It Felt Like EVERY PERSON I met in Portugal sent me away with a hearty laugh or smile! I’ve visited 52 countries around the world and I dont think I’ve ever felt SAFER and More PEACE visiting a place for the first time as I was in Portugal. If I ever have kids, I’m going to have to think long and hard about moving to Portugal to Raise them… for real for real!

Visited Portugal for about 1 month back in 2022 during my 3 mo covid-revenge travels across Europe. I absolutely fell in love with the country. I will be going back for sure.

I believe that things must be cheap for a country with a minimum salary of €800.00 a month. Things are cheap for folks with good salaries, which is not the case for the average Portuguese resident. I lived in Portugal a few years ago. I am not a fan. Bureaucracy and incompency are rife in Portugal. Some people call it being laid back. I call it the way I see it.

Hi! Native Portuguese here 🫡 I appreciate this video and was happy to know how much you liked our culture and lifestyle. Regarding cost of living: although it's a great country to live in, your salary must be higher than average, i would say at least 2k a month (gross). Otherwise, the cost of living becomes unbearable, especially in Lisbon. The average Portuguese have a salary around 1k per month, and this hardly covers basic needs.

I think you will find cities like Lisbon and countries like Portugal will have a more aggressive stance towards remote workers over the next few years

Do note though not every listing on street easy will advertise as rent stabilized but you might find out when you apply. Sometimes they don't post it if they want to find higher qualified tenants. That is what happened to me. But I do recommend always search under your max budget. 100% avoid 1st or basements though you are lucky you never had an issue. In Manhattan my mom is on the 2nd floor and in the winter occasionally will have a mouse to catch (old building) and when I lived near Columbia in Manhattan I was on the 4th but had a roach issue that was awful (old building).

Great videos! Keep them coming, Deb! 🎉

impressive physique

Happy weekend Dev. Very beautiful place. Ole World looking but I h8 heat and I'm not beach person.. curious did you see black people while there...? Do they treat visitors well ? What's the crime rate and how affordable is housing? Are there particular sections depending upon wealth? Glad you enjoyed your time there

Up to 15%!! Those people are ruthless

You are becoming a travel journalist! Maybe a new career......Keep up the good work.❤

Hey bro, loving the life you’re living ! Check out Zagreb , Croatia next, I’m making the move next year I think

Im looking for more video like this "the digital nomad lifestyle".

You look like you’re from London so the American accent threw me at first😂

Fun fact: in spite of what all you people think, living in NYC absolutely sucks. It bleeds you dry and you will be broke forever.

New subscriber from London! will watch your other videos.

Damn son…congrats on your new job!

accent was believable lowkey. for someone who has never heard your voice or watched this channel, i would have been fooled if you started like that
