My sister is 25, she lives in New York too

chris02_84 · April 13th, 2006

never been there,

newbie101 · April 13th, 2006

I mean Isabella...she's in NY

Isabella · April 13th, 2006

Yes I'm in NY

But Chris, you're not really missing out on much by not having seen NY, lol - believe me! Well, many people say they "LOVE" NYC ... but I think that's usually their first impressions. After they've lived here for a while, the city doesn't seem so "lovely" anymore. And those who live in NYC (or have lived here in the past) will know exactly what I mean, lol.

chris02_84 · April 13th, 2006

too expensive to live there for me...that's for sure! How much are you paying for a place to stay. i'm assuming you live in a apartment....

Isabella · April 13th, 2006

Chris, yes apartments and houses in NYC are very expensive. Especially in the last couple of years, rent went up to sky-high prices - which is bad for those who rent. I don't yet rent Chris. That's because I still live with my parents - they said I can stay with them as long as I need in order to finish my education. I am VERY grateful to them. It would be very difficult in NY to be working, studying, and paying rent - all at the same time. For now, I study full time and work part time. However, when I am done with education I'll be able to work full-time, and then I'll definitely move out to live on my own. It's already time, and I don't intend on living with my parents forever, lol.

Going back to rent in NYC - prices really depend on where you want to rent. In places immediately surrounding Manhattan, such as closest to Manhattan parts of Queens, Bronx, Brooklyn, Staten Island, and New Jersey - you could be paying anywhere around $700 - 2,000 (or even more - depending on how modern and how large an apartment is) a month. If you want to live in Manhattan, lol, you better have a BIG wallet. Maybe you could find cheaper apartments in Manhattan, but they'd probably be very bad quality. Prices in Manhattan can in fact go to even a couple of thousands of dollars per one month - not kidding. Isn't that crazy!? But I personally would not want to live in Manhattan even for free - it's way too loud, too crowded, and too stinky for me.

OLD

?? I resent that remark!! 43 is NOT OLD!!!

Isabella · April 13th, 2006

Vin, I presume you said that to me? LOL, I said I seem old when compared to those who are around 15 years old (I'm 24). I did not say 43 is old compared to ALL ages. Sorry if I have offended you! Certainly no offense was intended

vin · April 13th, 2006

No No!! I was kidding! The last two choices were 35-40 and OLD.....As if over 40 is old.....LOL!!

I Needed to stand up for the 'seniors'.....

Isabella · April 13th, 2006

This "OLD" guy appreciates it!! LOL!!

Mike · April 14th, 2006

I'm 30 -

chickadee · April 15th, 2006

well, I put down OLD because even though I do not feel old, that seems to be the category I fit into. I do not mind as I have never minded being any age I have ever been. Every year has had a redeeming quality of some kind and I have had some reason to look back on it with favor. Fishlore.com will be among the top of the list for this last year for me.

Thank you all for being a part of my last year!

p.s. I am 56 going on 57 in July.

Labeo55 · April 17th, 2006

I think that's great how both teens and "OLD" people can enjoy fish!
