- Here's a few of my thoughts on why you should consider leaving NYC! Whether you've always lived there or have moved there after college and lived there a few years, I give some considerations that you can mull over.
If you've recently moved somewhere outside of NYC, let me know where!

Yes I totally agree. The lifestyle is extremely stressful in NYC and not worth it. I moved from NYC to San Diego along time ago.
Is san Diego dangerous
@@andrewusa14 Dangerous?? In what way?
@@scottrobertson307 are there gangs and drug dealers in that city.
Thanks for sharing this! Good point about the hustle in NY... Sometimes when living here a long time its hard to see whats going on on the outside.. The constant pressure to keep up with trends, frequent outtings and maintain vehichles and housing puts a serious strain to make more money here.. far from a simple life
yes, exactly. it's easy to view life through the NY bubble and not see how things can be in other places. wishing you the best!
....you know you don't have to do any of that. Live life at your pace, do what you love
I've been here for 3 years and the NYC romance is wearing off of me and I'm ready to move. I've truly enjoy NYC but my values and what's important to me doesn't align with the lifestyle. Great video!!!
I totally get that. I can't remember if I mentioned specifics in my video, but I moved out of NYC after living there for 3 years. Maybe that's just the time when it all sets in lol Do you have your eye on a specific state or city to go to next?
In August, more than 5,000 people with NYS drivers licenses traded them in for Florida licenses, an all time record. I moved to NYC in '89 and worked for 30 years in Manhattan and Brooklyn. It was exiting at first for a young, single guy but after a few years it was only my pension that kept me there. I figured I'd stick it for 30 years, when my pension allowed me to retire.
That’s fair! I think a lot of people in that position would stay. Overall it depends on the timing and circumstances. Who knows? Maybe I’ll move back one day when I’m in a different phase of life. Glad it worked out for you! 😀
The part about NYC not feeling quit like real life.. like these years have been separate from my over all life.. 10000000% made sense
I'm glad you got what I mean. It's a hard feeling to describe and it can often feel like I'm the only one lol
@@gabriellelue 100% I just made my first youtube video on this exact topic and i found your page because i was like do other people feel this way even? Am i crazy? Theres others! Thank you
You're right about the social situation. People who don't know better may think people being all around means way more opportunities for friends, like everyone is casually chit chatting with random people. It's the opposite. People have very strong barriers in public, they are not at all in a friendly mode, add to that many people being extremely selective about who they even consider being friends with, you have to look around the same age, same style, same personality, into the same things to even have a chance and that judgment is made all in a few seconds even without speaking. Your best bet is meeting through friends of friends at social events and the vast majority of those will just end up acquaintances. As you said, most of the friend groups people see walking around are people who have known each other for awhile, they are unlikely unconnected people who met randomly in the city. Not to say it's easy making new friends moving to a new city as an adult anywhere but just that people need to realize they are not going to recreate a Friends-like situation or anything remotely close if they're moving to NYC on their own. That said, I think it's still a very interesting experience and can be worth it for a few years so long as you are able to find a decent paying job (or have parents who help out).
I absolutely agree with everything you mentioned! It’s great for a few years as it can be a magical place (or at least have magical qualities) but regarding friendship making, you have to be super diligent and extroverted to have the opportunity to really meet people. It definitely won’t be like Friends lol 😀
I lived there in the late 90's and early 2000's. I didn't want to leave though. Yes, rent and food prices are away lower, and it was safer back then.
Great tips! And good things to consider no matter where you currently live.
Yes, that's true! Hopefully it helps wherever people live
Thank you I just graduated from college and I really needed to hear this.
Glad I could help! I moved right after college as well, so if you have the support system and financial means to do it, NYC can be great for a short period. The hard part is that you don't want to get stuck in a place where it's hard to achieve the life you want long term
I’m leaving on Wednesday to New Hampshire. You’re so beautiful!
Very attractive 💙
please make more vids!! I love your vibe. And totally feel the same about 10:12 - I feel like I've made no progress living here for the past 2 years.
thank you so much! I really appreciate that. I am hoping to start posting more vids again within the next month. I've had some big life transitions this summer that took my spare energy lol I hope you've enjoyed summer in the city. Hopefully the autumn time will bring you some renewed energy for life if you still plan to live there
@@gabriellelue yay good to hear! and thank you : )
I appreciate you, I wish the volume was higher. I have lived in 30 years and am considering leaving and so thanks for sharing.
Thank you for this video, I’m saving up 40-60k before I make my move to nyc next year
Thanks for watching! It’s a fun place to live, so I hope you enjoy your time there
Lehigh Valley PA is a pretty good balance between cost of living and civilization.
I’ve heard good things about the Allentown area. I’ll have to add it to my list of places to check out
im starting the process of moving i need to breath
Where did you decide to live ?
I would argue that the little anecdote with the German girl had nothing to do with being in New York. Europeans are extra friendly, and so are tourists. Here as a New York native who agrees that people are cliquey and not so friendly
I think I agree with you on that!
I've been living here for 12 years now. cliquey and unfriendly are the most accurate words to describe NYC's culture.
Thank you for sharing!
Run from nyc!!!! It’s terrible!!!
I’m debating leaving. It’s just so corrupt here. Very unGodly place.
Meghan Markle look alike
Not really
Very Nice 👍
Prelijepa si mlada žena. Pozdrav
Three years does not qualify as "living" in new York.
What does it qualify as
@@gabriellelue A tourist.
@@rik061154 that’s why I gave the disclaimer indicating how long I lived there. I could’ve left that out but I know there’s a difference between living somewhere for a short while versus growing up somewhere. I disagree that 3 years is being a tourist.
If you have a lease and you are a resident, you have lived there. It’s just for a short time, just don’t be an asshole because of your little superiority complex
To all socialists leaving socialist NY & CA: please do not come to a red state until you wise-up. Thank you 🎉
They are not moving there. Poorer less educated states.
the crime over there is crazy as well
Yes, that’s a major factor as well!
Not true
You are not a real New Yorker I have lived in NYC all my life and I know the ins and out, I pay 572 for a studio but I am getting tired of it. I just don't know a good place to go
no I'm definitely not a New Yorker! I never officially considered myself a New Yorker and would really only classify those who grew up in New York or have lived there for 10+ years as such. I hope you find a new place that you really enjoy!
You don’t know a good place to go but yet you know the ins and outs ?
NYC sucks
