My best friend stumbled across this great little video of a woman who lives in the heart of New York City. In the video she shows off and gives a tour of her apartment unit... all 90-square-feet of it. Ha! For those who need reference point to get an image of how big 90-square-feet is, I would guess it wouldn't be much bigger then a bus.
Living in a 90-square-foot apartment: $700/month
She is very positive and upbeat about her situation however, claiming she enjoys the 'cosy' feeling that the apartment brings, to which I would wonder if that's actually debatable ha. Although in the video she does have quite a lot of possessions, which is definitely one area in which I would have the upper hand... by not having any possessions... so ha, take that New York!
As long as there is a comfortable space for a desk and my laptop, I will be happy =)
Although I will admit, seeing insight into how a real life New Yorker lives did rattle my nerves for a second, as once again I was hit with a wave of realization of what's to come. It's the wave that says 'you, yes you there, sitting in your comfortable chair at your familiar work place, being only a quick drive from friends and a phone call away from family, you will soon instead be a grueling 20 hour flight away from that place you call home'.
But hey, if everyone backed out because they were scared, then no one would get anywhere.
