Understandable

Takes 2-5 years to be a NYC firefighter from the time you first sign up for the test until you actually get hired, and its really only worth it if you want to make a career and retire from it

Between 3 and 4%, but everything else is taxed too, food, clothes, gas, everything carries an extra 2-8% tax on top of other taxes

You will never find a room for rent, maybe a 1 room studio apt, or a room mate, but not a room, it just doesnt exist.


I know I sound negative, but thats the reality. Once you get past all the negatives, NYC is probably one of the coolest places in the world to live
