Life update: I moved to New York in October with three bags, no work/housing, and no plan. In today's video, I will be sharing some of the tips, tricks, and things I’ve learned so far. :) Fun fact: I was actually born in New York. It kind of feels like a homecoming.

I’m moving to NYC alone as a 19 year old, after saving for the move since I was 16 to escape an abusive household. Videos like this give me more confidence and somehow some security in what to expect when I move in February. Thanks for helping me be a little less scared (P.S, I’m moving from Florida as well. St . Augustine)

@AminahOjere 5 месяцев назад

Wow I’m so excited for you to start this new journey. So admirable that you’ve saved for that long. There will be ups and downs, but having control over your life is the best reward. Wishing you the best !

Welcome (back) to NYC! I have lived in New York on and off the past few years. If you're looking for a short term sublet (3 weeks or less) next year lmk, I travel a lot and my room is vacant for weeks at a time. Also always down to connect and meet new peeps :)

Thanh you 💕 I will keep that in mind! What’s your ig ? Or if you feel more comfy, dm me @ Aminah.ojere

I’m getting ready to move in July with two kids and we are all excited. I’ve done the move before and her video is on point. You just have to make the move and you’ll figure it out. The only difficult part for me is finding a room or shared space to rent with two kids. But will figure it out. YOLO like she said.

@AminahOjere Месяц назад

July is a good time to move here, the weather is nice(but hot) and there will be so much to do ! It will be more challenging for sure to find housing, but not impossible. You might even be able to find your own studio/ 1bed but further outside of the city. Which in that case, you’ll have to weigh the pros and cons of commuting for work, school(s) etc. But keep looking, stay optimistic. Wishing you all of the luck. I have a video that talks a bit more about finding shared accommodations hopefully it helps, here’s the link : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MLD4CmF8WzU.htmlsi=-8MT8t8oNaawS8iu

@maryjanemetayer1587 Месяц назад

Thank you so much for the advice and encouragement! I'll definitely keep looking and remain optimistic. Moving to a new place can be challenging, which is why I stumbled the first time I moved. However, I'm excited about the opportunities, especially with the knowledge and resources from my past experiences and videos like yours. This time around, I'll be documenting my journey and all the resources I tap into to share with moms who are looking to make the move like myself. I firmly believe that mothers shouldn't limit themselves from moving or living in their dream cities just because they are mothers. It's challenging, but it's definitely possible.I appreciate your support and the video link. I've spent the whole week watching, and I'm impressed by your work. Keep it up, sis! Continue to connect with the community; your content is spot on. Cheers 🥂 to your future success❤

This video was extremely helpful. I want to live in DC or New York but I don't have a bachelor's and no interest in getting one. Your video was something I didn't know I needed. Hopefully I can find a way to move to DC or NYC soon. I'm ready and congrats on doing this move without all the " ducks lined up!" That's faith in action. 🎉

@AminahOjere 5 месяцев назад

Thank you so much ! I've heard that DC is a good city to live in. What city would be your number one choice? And I completely understand! School is not for everyone and even with a degree it's hard to find good pay. There are lots of people without a degree making it here. It is tough. Some people I've met work multiple jobs or have a main job and a side hustle/side job. Some entered a trade which is way cheaper than getting a BA. You might have to compromise temporarily and get a room with roommates but have cheap rent and more freedom. I am not sure about DC housing culture but I know there is a solution for you.

@25447carepear 5 месяцев назад

@@AminahOjere Aww thanks sis! I am open to NYC or DC. I fell in love with DC each time I've gone. I am ok with roommates at this point but I will have to figure that out soon when I move. I'm so happy for you and this video was so good, real and informative. Enjoy yourself this season. Good things are coming because you took that step.

Aminah, as a New Yorker (Brooklyn) that will be moving back in May, you are spot on with your points! Are you in the city? What borough are you in? I am fortunate to be able to transfer with my firm.

@AminahOjere 4 месяца назад

Good for you! That’s so great. Are you excited ? I am in Manhattan. Was in Brooklyn for a bit. Trying to gauge where I want to be long term. I’m seeing that ever borough has a different feel.

I’m in Miami and I feel that. I need culture and arts and it’s just not here. Do you think the prices are comparable to Miami there ? My rent for my studio is 2400. Thanks for the vid !

@AminahOjere 4 месяца назад

I use to think that nyc was more expensive but it’s almost equal now! $2,400 will get you a studio here too. You could also get a 1 bedroom but it will be tiny. Brooklyn will give you more options and space for sure. It also depends on how modern you want your apartment to be but you’ll have options. Groceries can be pricey I’ve noticed a $1-$5 difference with some stuff. But honestly I’m terms of restaurants, drinks & activities miami is almost the same .

You don’t have to rely on public transit that’s only if you took into consideration for insurance, parking( if the apartment has a garage or off site parking 🅿️ or is there street parking 🅿️) into your budget 👀👀🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️💁🏽‍♀️💁🏽‍♀️

@AminahOjere 3 месяца назад

I agree I could have been more specific. It all comes down to personal preference and like you said where you’re located, where you work, do you like to drive, have to commute for work, parking/street parking where you live, cost for insurance and car payment. In some cases it might all balance out. And for peace of mind it might be better for some people.

I’m so glad I found your channel because girl I’m in Atlanta right now thinking about New York lol. I want to move soooo bad but like I’m very nervous & I also do RU-vid but I don’t post as much as I should… it’s like I’m not motivated here enough but at the same time I’m terrified of leaving but also I’m like we only have one life to live so why not live it the way you want. I’m just confused lol

@AminahOjere 2 месяца назад

Thanks for watching and supporting the channel . I completely understand! I was in the same spot but ATL was weighing me down. I feel like it was a prep for NYC because it’s the wild wild west out here lol. It has been an adjustment but I definitely have been more motivated. Can I see myself here long term ? Maybe not. But in terms of opportunity, things to do, creatives it’s here. But start posting girly ! I’m not where I want to be, but I am definitely seeing some results.

@JessRandomStephens 2 месяца назад

@@AminahOjere Definitely will start doing better, I just need a schedule or something lol. And to be honest when I do move out that way I’m not planning to stay long term either, just need a change of pace. Thanks for taking the time out to respond!! And good luck on your journey!
