[@heyyitssj]

Girlllll I’m so glad I found your channel! We have such similar mindsets about saving money, being debt free, I’m moving to New York and your videos make me so excited!

[@bedheadbeth]

♥️♥️♥️

[@isabellas1146]

i'm 15 and i just told my mom about my dream of studying fashion in nyc but she just cringed and gave me a lecture about money... but i really want to make this happen one day. thanks for this great video :)

[@bedheadbeth]

+isabel ahh I'm sorry): I hope my videos help!!

[@Mochi-kf3it]

isabel omg that happened to me too! I’m 16 and I love fashion! My mom just told me how expensive Manhattan is 😂

[@mjstudios97]

You guys can make it happen. Start saving, and planning it out and investing you guys will appreciate it I think anyone can start.. even a little kid can with the money he has in his piggy bank☺️♥️ and his motivation

[@LeightonMorris]

isa Im in the same boat...but just replace "fashion" with "music". Well good luck I guess, hope to see you there one day 😂.

[@anonymous-ii2jr]

Ahhhhh. Im sixteen, and I live in Kentucky; I have been in love with NYC since I can remember. I have a minimum wage job here in my hometown, but Im already saving as much as I can. I really want to major in Journalism or communications so NYC is really perfect. I just can't wait, like I still have two more years of high school, Im just so excited.

[@bedheadbeth]

+Ethan Whitis ahh that's so exciting! And really awesome that you already have a vision of what you want to do and where you want to be after high school.

[@michellexbeauty9832]

Ethan Whitis same, I love journalism and such but I'm still not sure if that's what I want to do since my dream college is FIT. I'm so in love with NYC even though I've never been, I just want to live there Haha

[@destinymayo5163]

Ethan Whitis girl i live in kentucky too! i love the city

[@Berrybabe09]

Ethan Whitis Work hard and you can do it!

[@jessicaburgos3549]

Ethan Whitis I am sixteen as well and I have been dreaming about New York for the longest! I'm also trying to save up right now haha and I want to do Creative Directing in NYC after high school. I'm very excited as well.

[@Berrybabe09]

Wow you're the only one on youtube who is actually honest about the prices in ny. Idk why but everyone seems to keep the prices sort of secret and it annoys me lol :)

[@bedheadbeth]

+Sydney Henderson yeahhh idk why? People are weird about money.haha

[@destinymayo5163]

thank you for making this series! im 17 and ive been wanting to move to NYC for awhile. this definitely encouraged me to save my money and move after i graduate high school. im gonna visit the city in a few months and im beyond excited!

[@bedheadbeth]

+Destiny Alaska ahh that's so awesome!! Thanks for watching💕

[@MrCheyenneervin]

From the hood to NYC. Thanks for your help. Blessings💞

[@chellbie]

Manhattan I'd say 2500 to 3000 a month for a studio or 1 bed. Brooklyn is definitely 1500- 2500 starting but can range up to 3000/ 4000 for a 1-2 bedroom . If you share you will pay a little less but I've seen roommate for 1450 plus for 2-3 people.

[@hannatidwell3897]

This video is incredibly helpful. I'm moving to New York in January and I've been super stressed about money but I really appreciate you breaking down everything so we know how much we would spend monthly.

[@bedheadbeth]

+Hanna Tidwell ahh I'm so glad this helped you! Let me know if you have any questions, I'd love to help in any way I can✨

[@chriseasterling5506]

One thing to add would be the realtor fees (12-15% of annual rent) 😩 I don't know anywhere else that charges them for finding an apartment

[@bedheadbeth]

+Chris Easterling blehhh I should've asked you guys before I filmed this!

[@SuperDarius01]

best solution is to not use a realtor. Saves money.

[@anys2656]

ugh, I wanna move to New York sooo bad ! it's ... ugh, everyone just makes it sound impossible and unrealistic cause like i'm only 20 and am currently living in Paris, which is literally on another continent, so everyone around me is super sceptical about it but i'm gonna work my ASS off and make it happen. Someday. Thank you for this video, super hopeful and encouraging to be honest.

[@gracepattie]

You have such a great vibe! Just a genuine, likable human. Subscribed! 😊

[@bedheadbeth]

ah, hey thx!!

[@akodito6809]

thank you for your videos. stress about moving to New York flies out the window.

[@bedheadbeth]

+ako dito ahh yay! I'm glad I can help

[@anabeth4745]

I work in Grand central Manhattan and live Williamsburg in Brooklyn. My rent is $1,200 but I have my own private bathroom. My roommates only pay $800 each and share a bathroom.

[@bedheadbeth]

that’s a sweet deal👌🏻

[@usermikes]

Believe it or not, you can eat at a four or five star restaurant in NYC for youself, and spend less then $50..If your on a budget instead of having a meal order an appetizer, and don't order a drink...Drink water..A glass of wine can cost you from $17 to over $20...I like wine with my meal, so I do have at least two glasses..That can bring your bill up...This is a menu of an appetizer in a five star restaurant... Butter Lettuce House Salad with Balsamic or Dijon Vinagrette 11.50 Twice Baked Vermont Blue Cheese Puff 15.00 Charred Shishito Peppers 11.00 Caesar Salad 13.50 Iceberg Lettuce Wedges, Blue Cheese Dressing with Chopped Tomatoes and Bacon . . . add 4.00 13.00 Thick-Cut Smoked Bacon 15.00 House-Cured Salmon 16.00 Maryland Lump Crab Cakes 20.00 Oysters Rockefeller 20.00 You can also order a sidedish for less then $12 with the appetizer..

[@bedheadbeth]

+Jack Val yeah totally!

[@AmandaXTine]

I just found your channel and I'm planning a move to NYC within the next 2 years. I'm from Oklahoma too! Thank you for all of your videos, they're super helpful ❤️

[@bedheadbeth]

[@claudiaeasterling1079]

Well said! Glad you touched on priorities! We would have loved to know #'s even ball park! 🗽

[@bedheadbeth]

+claudia Easterling ughhh yes! we couldn't find prices anywhere

[@morganlee9767]

Thank you SOOOOOOOOO much for these VIDEOS!

[@bedheadbeth]

of course!!(=

[@morganlee9767]

Literally still watching them, lol!

[@bedheadbeth]

+Morgan Janielle haha yay!!

[@interparties]

Have you ever heard about "The Financial Diet"? They're making really good videos about money and stuff. I think, you would like it!

[@bedheadbeth]

+Inter Parties yeah I've seen a couple of their videos!

[@cassiemcclure9761]

yooouuuu caaannnn do iiitttt

[@cassiemcclure9761]

to the people

[@bedheadbeth]

+Cassie McClure yes yes ye!!!

[@bedheadbeth]

+Cassie McClure i figured. Haha

[@bedheadbeth]

+Cassie McClure whaaaat I should've done another layer of lipstick, it's like see through

[@miraclekathy]

Brooklyn apartments, if you're referring to 1 bedroom, varies between $1,300-$1,600. Rooms you can find between $750-$900. Take it from someone who lived in BK for many years.

[@brandylynn4949]

I was told everything is super expensive. I so want to move to New York

[@bedheadbeth]

+Brandyjulio De Paz rent is really the biggest thing. Everything else is just a little more expensive than I'm used to.

[@jalexie30]

As a native New Yorker (lol) the only mistake in the video is generalizing rent prices for the Burroughs. I live in Brooklyn and my rent is not extremely expensive and it's pretty spacious, but in other areas rent can be over 4,000 dollars. It's very important to know that different areas in the Burroughs have different lifestyles. Hope this helps anyone :) Rent and expenses is probably the base and one of the most important things about living in NYC

[@bedheadbeth]

+Tøp Trash yeah I totally agree!

[@Heryckique]

Thanks so much for the positive message.

[@bedheadbeth]

✨

[@itsallgood5314]

[@morganwilson8790]

I’m moving to the city in April, and planning on attending the Aveda institute in SOHO, my question is where is the safest place to live without a long commute?

[@bedheadbeth]

hmmm...it’s honestly personal opinion on what you think is safe..soho is super safe to me, just expensive.lol I also like west village, Chelsea, Bowery, lower east side, Chinatown, meatpacking, a ton of great places around soho!

[@salamandra.salamandra]

Wow girl! Now I have kind of a real idea of how living in NYC would be, so thanks for that! I wanted to know the name of that ¿podcast? you mentioned, I'd like to go and listen to it too. Seriously thanks for this!

[@bedheadbeth]

ahh idk what I said about the podcast...but if it is money related I was probably talking about the Dave Ramsey show!

[@StrawberryCream78]

Is it more cheaper to live in new jersey

[@zacharypaulus3135]

What's a good way to get into the city if you don't have any connections there?

[@bedheadbeth]

+Zachary Paulus just go with some savings and be willing to have a stranger for a roommate and work low level jobs. It’s totally possible, people do it all the time! If you’re willing, you can make it work.

[@Khan-28]

Hi I am high school student living by myself so u live in NY so a student with part time job can afford himself in NY ..... like rent and other stuff.... please reply me ....

[@bedheadbeth]

no, I worked full time and had savings and a roommate lol

[@poisonivy9819]

How much did you have to save before moving to NYC?

[@bedheadbeth]

i moved to NYC with around 4 or 5k in my personal bank account - i can't remember exactly. but i also knew i would have my parents help while attending college!

[@sulemanafgarshe7253]

[@harryskittyz]

Is there not enough room for having your own laundry machine?

[@bedheadbeth]

+harryskittyz ugh if only. no way is there anywhere close to enough room.haha

[@xLifeinmotionx]

most apartments do NOT have washers or dryers :(

[@dianneroy3208]

Thanks for the great info. Just wondering how people who work in retail or something similar can afford it? What is your job?

[@bedheadbeth]

I worked retail but made great commission! if you are going to work retail make sure it’s at a place where there’s commission!!!

[@francescom9234]

A one bed room where I am in nyc is usually at least 1800

[@bedheadbeth]

+FM SOCCER yeahhh that sounds about right

[@gabrielrocsta]

I wanna join the NYPD. You have to live in the six boroughs before getting the job so I'm scared that I won't be able to afford it.

[@bedheadbeth]

[@jamiemel2871]

Ok this sorry but your wrong it cost way more than this I live in California now but i used to live in NYC and it cost 3gs a month at least for manhattan where I lived

[@bedheadbeth]

+Jamie Mel yeah I'm pretty sure in this video I said you could spend anywhere from 1.5k to like 10k a month...lol depending on where exactly you live/how expensive your apt is. Did you think I said too expensive or too cheap?
