      @@ToddBaldwin Hah!, lol. The only thing in Seattle that is free is the air, the rain, earthquakes (3 registered near Monroe and Carnation these past few days) and the magnificent outdoors here.
      My son is also a Millennial. Love him to pieces. He is an Active Duty Soldier, and gave me my YT comment name many years ago.
      Nicknames? He was Young Punk, and I was Old Lady, until he was in 3rd grade when he learned what the word Major meant - likely on the playground, lol.
      Now, he and his friends and Barracks Battle Buddies just call me MOL, the acronym for Major Old Lady, and I love it!

      Great video, it reminds me 8 months ago, when I was so poor and broke that I could barely afford a meal a day. I remember that I had to take the biggest step in my life when I invested my last income with a specialist trader who works with a Forex trading company. It may seem little, but it took courage to know that investing was the right thing to do at that moment. Today, my small investment of just $ 1000 raised more than $ 150,000. Honestly, to succeed, you need to take a big step. That's where it all starts. Forex is also a good investment.

      @@gillysimone2796 not always, still pretty expensive until you go further away from NYC. Its not trendy parts of BK so that helps price wise, but its still in the urban core of the metro area. You can walk to the 2 train from parts of Yonkers. She got a good deal but that is not commonplace so close to NYC border..unless other factors are bringing it down.
