Young New Yorkers Make a Brand New Start of It, on the Cheap

it's called sex and the city. I am not exagerating, but there is a whole generation of women that want to be in "the City", and living the fun/glam life. Anything else is just too boring. Hence, there is much more women than men in NYC. Well, the reality of living in the city, is completely different, way too expensive, and too many sacrifices to be made.

But, when you are young (early 20s), you are used to live in dorms, sharing a room with another person, etc... so you could put up with those conditions for a while, until it wears you off, and you either get a good paying job, or move out.

There is probably a bit of the sex and the city effect, but this lifestyle has been a part of new york since new york began.

So a group of young people wants to move to an expensive city for the fun and glamour because everything else is just too boring, you say? Funny how that works.

To the point where you endanger your health and freedom. Startup entrepreneur usually live in the same condition but for different reasons. They want to build a small empire, business, or just help people etc.. But to live in eat ramon for lunch and diner just so your mail is sent to a Manhattan address goes beyond my understanding.
