More Than 60% Of New Yorkers One Check Away From The Streets

[Fosheezy]

Niggas complain about cost of living in places like NYC or LA but niggas still insist on loving there and got the worst traffic to prove it. Maybe if y'all moved the fuck outta dodge the prices would drop eventually

Not that simple.. Depending on your field the jobs are here.. And people will pay a premium for convenience thus driving the price up for hole in the wall apartments.. A dude working in the financial district that wants a 15 minute commute to work will pay 5k a month rent easy cuz he is pulling in $500k a year..

Idk about " One check away from the streets" but this isn't really specific to New York.

There was a report earlier this year that said that 63% of Americans couldn't manage an unexpected $500 bill

My Lord.

That's sad.

Combination of a few things. It's a reflection of the system and the ppl.

Inflation: Cost of living increased but pay wages did not at the same rate. They don't want to raise minimum wage because they'd have to raise everyone else's pay.

They want to continue to charge $7 for a double qtr pounder meal but only pay their employees $7.50. How in the fuck can you work at McDonalds but can't afford to eat there?

Another issue is the ppl don't have that hustle in them anymore. I remember women with 3 & 4 jobs and selling Mary Kay and shit. Men had 3 & 4 jobs and wash cars/cut grass.



If it ain't a bank fraud, a 2nd job, drugs or hair.....I don't see that hustle to get side money anymore.

This is false. Millenials are the most overworked generation.

I bet they have a mean sneakerhead collection tho...

That's the majority of the world tho. If ur job said fuck it no check on the first. And ur mortgage or rent due. The avg person is fucked

New York and California are waay overrated. My big house and yard is paid for. The South ftw!

Everytime a thread like this gets made I make sure to post this:

Hit the city to see one of my school mates

Making six figures but she still got a roommate

Just to have a downtown apartment and some outfits

And you asking why I never leave the south shit...

I still couldn't live in the south and I couldn't give a fuck how cheap it is....
