Leaving My $1875 NYC Apartment… Forever 

Ya gotta give him his due props! Yep... He really IS a hard worker!!!

@@sinash "Yeah"no doubt! he's like some kind of superman I don't know where he gets the energy from🤗

A smart worker.

@@shortsweet2022 Monster drinks...sometimes.

@@leese.23 "Oh"Yeah good point I had forgotten about those Lol😆

It's funny how quickly we become protective of our little piece of green😆

We traded having a 3,200sq foot rental with no yard, for a 2,000sq foot with a massive fenced in yard. I'm hurting for storage, but our 3 kiddos are always outside now!

So many of the places Cash shows, has some sort of outdoor space. I lived at places without. I don't think they're as common in my city as Cash's videos make New York look, so when I found my place now, I thought the fact that it had a little balcony was sooooo cool, and sold me on it....(and now I don't even go out there, cuz pigeons were trying to nest on it, and I'm totally grossed out 😅).

The statement above is v accurate. What outsiders/newbies need to know about living in NYC long term is that the smartest financial move as a renter is to get a rent-stabilized apartment (unless paying $$$ in free market rate isn’t an issue). Even though roughly half of all rentals are RS, vacancies aren’t as readily available or easy to find. Any NYC tenant lawyer worth their salt will tell you NOT to leave an overall “good deal” RS-unit unless there’s a better offer on the table.

Not sure why since NYC don't have zoning

Aww, 💗 I wish you well! We're buying our 1st house at 61! A real fixer upper too! 😵

@@lauraswihart4816 congrats!!

@@lauraswihart4816 That is fantastic, wishing you lots of luck as you rehab the unit and money in the bank to help you until it is finished. So glad those days are just memories for me(but much better as memories than when living them. Exhausted days from extreme hard work after a days work at the hospital. Sleepless nights worrying about things that I can now see were not worth worrying. Life sometimes does not give us roses but sometimes we get a lovely bouquet of wildflowers instead. I am hoping after all the unpacking that this new place is just such a bouquet. A move for their little one is just so sweet and such a tender loving thing to do. Sending a hug to each of them.

The only thing I'd add is: save the screen and put it back when you move out.

Or if you decide not to remove the screens at least clean any screen you find in all of your faucets. It makes a huge difference. Also a new shower head helps.

@@rsislandcrafts A new shower head is actually the problem. They're all water savers these days which means if you have thicker hair or long hair, you're never getting all the shampoo out of your hair again unless you modify the shower head.

Years ago I found a shower head for low pressure water. It worked really well! 🤗

@@Chaotic_Pixie The water saver shower heads that I’ve purchased have a little plastic piece that you can add or remove depending on how much water you want to save. I bought a new shower head last year and tried It with and without that water saver piece. It does make a huge difference with the water pressure to not use It.

This!!!

umm .. after nine years? coughcough

I don't understand why you need to personally attack me like this..

I used this method as well when moving last year. I had stuff in my closet that I barely touched, so I knew they didn't need to come with me. Some things though, like books, I want to read but it's a pain digging in plastic totes each time I want to get one. I began working from home permenantly (hopefully) during the pandemic and my bedroom, the only private space I had, had to then also accomodate a desk, ruining any plans for a bookshelf. Now that I live on my own, I've turned the second bedroom into my office and will put a small bookshelf there, at last giving the books a proper place. But be careful to not get too caught up on "I don't have a place for this" as that can easily tumble into the mantra of those who hoard, where it's not about space but as the original coment stated, you just have too much stuff. If you're handling the moving yourself like I had to, your body will thank you greatly for not making it carry loads of unnecessary stuff, lol. You have way more "essential" stuff as it is than you realize. Trust...nothing shines a glaring light on just how much you own than moving (I also made the fatal mistake of thinking "Ah, that room doesn't have a lot, I can pack it in a few minutes!" HA! Never do that! You have a lot more in such rooms than you realize, your eyes have just gotten used to glossing over things, like pictures, or curtains).

I think it's already safe to guess they have too much stuff! :)

I did this for the first ten or so boxes on my last move. By the end I was just sweeping the entire contents of shelves into boxes without even looking at what I was doing.

@@dm44444 LOL 😂 You had me actually laughing with tears when reading this one. I can remember moves like that too! Then when opening the box later on, I thought, why did I ever pack and pay to move this junk?! Should have thrown it away or donated it before moving. Just ran out of time and had to leave. That last 2 weeks flies by.

Believe it or not I like looking at trees more than looking a buildings 😄

Yes, I Hope that You and Your Family Will be Happy in Your New Home. Thanks for Sharing!

Have fun in the new apartment and your child's education is a great reason to move.

Agreed! If you’re just packing up everything that cluttered up your old place and bringing that stuff to your new place, then it’s only going to look as disorganized/messy as the old apartment did. The key is to purge before you move. IMO, they’re in dire need of a professional home organizer. Quality of life would improve immensely.

I moved into my condo and couldn't believe the storage ...10 years later ... not enough l0l

I agree & am sure they could do with less stuff. But if he's busy working his job & doing six videos a week & raising a young daughter with his wife, he probably didn't feel he had time before the move. Of course, any decluttering time would have been well spent & saved tons of time & energy later.

It has to be at least double the old price.

The price is really none of our business. Hopefully, Cash and family will be able to buy a home/apartment soon.

@@bovnycccoperalover3579 Right, hoping they're saving enough to own something. Best way to go to build for the future with their kid.

I was wondering if they might be needing a bigger place for another reason besides Violets school. You never mentioned how many bedrooms the new place has. In my defense, I'm a Grandmother, what do you expect?

@@marysander5584 I think the new place he mentioned is a little smaller than the one they had in Astoria. It's a one bedroom I believe, has nicer kitchen and bathroom, a small balcony, washing machine in apartment. So definitely an upgrade, just smaller.

You mean without a seatbelt?

We just started renovation projects in our apartments after a few years. It's good to take some time if it's a place to live at for many years.

Do you have people who stage apartments, condos, etc.? They can help and make recommendations for placement, organizers, etc.

That's actually a really good idea.

Agreed. Its worth paying for and they showed up after I bought my new place. No need to pay for storage its like they know where your new address is even if you didn’t tell them ahead of time because you have to shop for it and get the details of getting your possession of it squared. Worth every penny during a move.

@@NormanF62 Storage is a ripoff, Public Storage yes I am talking about you, lol

What happened with the office? Did you find a new one yet?

It felt the opposite for me, I thought I would never stop packing lol

@@raineyj560 I downsized from house to apt., so I gave away and donated the majority. Just kept what I need..love it!

That's so sad to hear. New York has zero respect for its past.

That's sad about the historic home. I HATE that!! Here, it's become a thing to move them to less desirable areas--which in turn improves the new location while still allowing construction in needful neighborhoods (like adjacent to the huge university) for tons of new high density housing. I can accept moving beautiful old houses. It's demolishing them that breaks my heart.

@@panamasrose They don't have respect for its citizens

Built in 1924 by John J. McKelvey - developer, writer, attorney and the first editor of Harvard Law Review - he envisioned the Villa Rosa, Villa Charlotte Brontë and Villa Victoria as answers to encroachment of the “ugly city” into Spuyten Duyvil’s idyllic scenery. Instead of cold high-rise apartment buildings, McKelvey built apartments into European-style villas that were just as luxurious on the outside as in. Perched on a rocky cliff overlooking the river, Charlotte Brontë and Victoria stand beside each other - two fairytale castles replete with Old World charm - possibly the best-known example of Bronx beauty. Time and circumstance weren’t as kind to Villa Rosa, one of the first multi-family homes built in Spuyten Duyvil. Just a quick jaunt down Palisade Avenue from her sisters, the years were apparent from the exterior. But the history the house holds was beautiful to her neighbors

This! Most shower heads have a restriction insert that can either be pulled out, or broken out. This is to comply with the lowest flow restrictions out there so they can sell the same shower head everywhere in the US. Mine uses twice as much water without it, but showers take half as long, so it's not really using more in the end.

Or the filter is clogged with a calcium deposit.

In NYC tenants don't pay a water bill.

We take ours out too.

We could not manage to pull out the restrictor so we ended up drilling a hole through it - works great!!! 😀

A step up would be to move out of New York City. The quality of life has gone downhill

I was wondering this too, but it looks like the beds are in one room again.

But does it have a sink sprayer?

It seems like a good idea to get her out of that crib and into a bed in her own space. As Chance said she's not a baby anymore.

In my family's first cross country move, my mother saved a lot by doing most of the packing (my father had already gotten us a house to move to and had started his job), but the movers did the rest. She discovered they packed up everything that was left, and that included dirty rags and garbage. She found out that was not unusual. They got paid by the box, and they didn't have to decide what was trash or treasure. :) I suppose we were lucky to have our bags for the trip. :) I can't imagine what chaos would ensue at Cash's apt if the movers unpacked everything with nowhere to put stuff yet.

@@653j521 we had movers pack our house plants one time. 🤦🏼‍♀️

That's my apt rent in Florida

I pay $1,050.00 in NJ just 45 minutes outside of NYC in a nice suburban area in a studio apt for 8 years. I will never live in the city. Most of us commuters to NYC live in NJ. A lot nicer with outdoor space.

It’s about average for non-rural living in the PNW.

That is 3x the amount my parents pay for their 4 bd/ 2 1/2 bth house in Vegas and they are building equity.

@@thriftingwithlawayne lucky them. I have a friend who was only paying something less that $400 a month in a nice area of an average-sized city. But she and her husband bought their house in the 1990’s. Inflation multiplied so fast that by the time I bought my very modest home in a tiny town 20 miles north of theirs, I’ve been paying nearly quadruple that per month ever since. But even now, there’s no way I could sell my home. It’s worth nearly triple what I paid for it but it’s still pretty well bottom-tier dwelling. I don’t want to “upsize” but also don’t want to go into a rental and be paying rent for the rest of my life.

🙌🙌

It shouldn't be that difficult for his wife with only ONE child though. She doesn't even work outsideof the home. Literally they just need a housekeeper to clean up after all of them. The wife should be able to do it but we've seen her childhood home, just shit everywhere.

@@tjp2109 Violet must be going to private school, and some of them make home visits. That might improve the situation.

@@tjp2109 this sounds like a slam to his wife 🤷‍♀️ 🙁🫤😏

Agreed, and so unnecessary.

But does it have a spray sink?

This place looks so much nicer!!

@@wavamy Do you think Cash would ever rent a place without a sprayer🤣

@@mikki3961 It really is!

😄

5 in 10 years whoa, I give you kudos. My last one 7 years & now 3 months in my new place where I hope to be for 3 years.

He left Brooklyn and moved to Astoria, queens

@@commonsense9494 I thought he left Astoria to move to Brooklyn 🤷🏽‍♀️

@@commonsense9494 @2:39. “Park Slope, Brooklyn FROM Astoria, Queens

Well said.

I subscribed to see real estate not his private life.

@@mircat28 isn’t it nice that you can just skip a video if it doesn’t interest you?

Getting rid of stuff is not easy however once it is gone and it frees up space it is like a blessing. I got rid of 20 percent of my clothes and moved on to other things. It is such a happy dance to not let things control your environment. Blessings on your new place!

You gotta let some stuff go. Donate, sell, or take to your office space.

Now’s the time to declutter if there ever was any!

As much as I hate moving, it really forces you to THROW STUFF OUT. That part is fantastic. It’s amazing how much stuff you accumulate.
