New York City — the city that never sleeps, mostly because it’s too busy counting rent receipts, dodging subway rats, and hunting for an affordable avocado toast.
People say, “If you can make it here, you can make it anywhere.”
But what they really mean is, “If you can make it here with a million dollars, you’ll still need a roommate and a GoFundMe.”
You’ve probably heard it: “If I just had a million dollars, I’d be set for life!” Maybe in a cozy Midwestern town or a remote island where coconuts are currency, that might be true.
But in New York?
That million bucks is more like Monopoly money.
You’ll burn through it faster than a dollar slice can disappear on a drunken night out.
