Last November I ran my first full marathon through the five boroughs of New York City. The New York City Marathon has a surprising amount of hills, but the one that really gets you sits right at the 23-24 mile mark and is very long and very slow. 1 Pacing Yourself Is Key. 4 Hills Suck.

I understand that finding a New York City apartment with the perfect mix of location, cleanliness, safety, and price is difficult, but if you want to live here long term, you have to be willing to make concessions and find a sustainable balance. I found out that the rent on this studio was $2,400/month.

No, it’s not a new Special Forces group in the United States military…but it does sometimes occur under the cover of night, in secret, by groups of men and women.

Alcohol was dirt cheap in New Orleans, and transportation was a very small line on our budget in New York City. I just recently returned from a trip to Southern California, where we stayed the entire trip for $50 (the AirBNB cost for our last night there). Thanks, couch surfing! After all, you’ve got to eat!

Living in New York City, sticking to a vegetarian lifestyle has been quite easy. While I don’t seek to convert meat eaters, I think we can all stand to have a little more “veg” in our lives. Meatless Mondays are a good start, as is a better understanding of vegetarianism in general.

Maybe a little more with New York City prices, maybe a little less in a small midwestern town, but all in all, I know $8 is standard. I love that when I go to Chipotle and order a burrito I always know it’s going to cost me around $8. Unfortunately, not everything in life is as transparent and defined as the cost of Chipotle.
