If you live in NYC, get a cheap apartment but spend money on everything outside of it.

Treat it like a hotel. Just sleep there.

You live in the most alive city on earth. So instead of sitting in your home all day, spend your money on:

• experiences worth talking about
• a routine that keeps you moving and healthy
• meeting new people that'll open new opportunities

The whole point of living in New York is to be outside of your room. Your bedroom isn't New York
