| Should I Move To New York Quiz |
Are You Cut Out for the Concrete Canyon?
New York City is like that really attractive, but incredibly high-maintenance friend. It’s exciting, it’s always happening, and it’s got a killer wardrobe (skyline). But it’s also expensive, noisy, and can be downright rude.
QuickTip: Don’t skim too fast — depth matters.
If you thrive on chaos, love a good pizza slice, and don’t mind paying a small fortune for a shoebox apartment, then you might just be a New Yorker in the making.
QuickTip: Stop and think when you learn something new.
But before you pack your bags and hail a cab, let’s take a reality check.
Tip: Slow down at important lists or bullet points.
The Price is Right (or Wrong)
Let’s talk money. New York is not cheap. Not even a little bit. Rent for a closet-sized apartment will make your eyes water, and a single avocado toast could fund a small country. If your idea of budgeting is “I’ll figure it out later,” you might want to reconsider.

Can You Handle the Pace?
New York is a city that never sleeps. Literally. People are always on the go, always hustling, always trying to catch the next train. If you're used to a leisurely pace of life, be prepared for a major culture shock.
Do You Have a Thick Skin?
New Yorkers are known for their directness, which is often mistaken for rudeness. If you can’t take a joke (or a snarky comment), you might want to stick to your small town charm.
So, Should You Move to New York?
Honestly, only you can answer that. But if you’re still on the fence, try visiting first. There's a big difference between visiting for a week and actually living there.
Remember, New York is a city of dreams, but it's also a city of nightmares.
