^Distant Light is a good example of a broke dude who built a fishbowl. He's broke and he fucks the hottest girls and gets into all the top NYC clubs. Although personally I'd rather be making money and living centrally.

If you are living anywhere long term I don't see why you can't build a fishbowl.

Checking in

Lots of solid tips in here...

NOTE, I strategically built my life through cold approach which is why I'm connected to the best venues and know a handful of hot women. Most people don't have the "motivation" to do it since at first it seems very elusive. However, benefit is I spend 0$ in nightlife. If I actually put in the effort again I can go out or dinner 7x a week free.

That said, FOR MOST, I always say, go the "hipster" route sharing an apartment in bushwick, they have a handful of condos that is a 5-person share space. The L line will get you into the city quick JUST make sure you live atleast a block from the actual station.

From there figure out how you going to get your finances together. NIGHTLIFE, is an industry where everything can be free if you are connected with the right people.

When I was hanging in the more "high end" hipster scene there were a handful of people who were roommates. Come to think of it my model promoter friend rooms with about 4-5 different people in tribeca, manhattan. My other friend lives in a luxury building in downtown brooklyn 4 roommates BUT amenities are on point. (Pool???) I forget how much they pay rent.

IMO, those who just show up to NY have a "where there is a will, there is a way" mentality. DISCLAIMER, it's a risk as I've met TONS OF CHICKS who don't make it, go back to some other city never to return (Although, I found most guys have managed to make the "jump")

It's always interesting hearing others talk about NY because I can only compare it based on the "high end" scene so when others praising NY DESPITE not experiencing the "high end" scene, it makes me think AM I ALREADY IN THE BEST SOCIAL POSITION?? (In terms of a social/sex life)

Don't let the living cost scare you
However, if you aren't socially savvy YOU WILL BREAK YOUR BANK FAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I see "randoms" paying $100 just to see tiesto in a packed venue. (when they clearly see me walk right in)

In closing...
This is probably the BEST EXAMPLE of what REAL NEW YORK is, the aspect that majority never see regardless of bank roll...

I am NOT RICH AT ALL and live 1.5-2hrs away from manhattan BUT due to how I am (fun as fuck!!!) and my competence at socializing, I've come to live a rather amazing lifestyle. I'm 6 degrees of separation from many people. Anyone can do this, only difference is I legit had a "drive" to live a lifestyle that I envisioned.

This is a personal video I made in 2012 (when I first was building things, not even a year in) for my personal facebook. THIS IS THE UNSEEN ASPECT...
