To-infinitive

As someone wanting to move to New York City, $3,000 for a studio apartment the size of an average bathroom doesn't seem to be as glamorous as people say it is.

Present continuous

So now I'm going to be going around asking these New Yorkers how much they pay for rent.

And to see what these people do for a living to get some inspiration to see if maybe one day I can move to New York City without donating a kidney or two to be able to afford one month's rent.

How much do you pay for rent in New York?

When did people decide to pay this much money for an apartment?

Was there like a meeting or something I wasn't invited to?

But now we got to see what these people do for a living and how much they make because I'm still trying to move here, but also not live in like a little shoebox on the corner of Lower East Side, if you know what I'm saying.

How much do you pay for rent over here? $3,500, unfortunately.

Is there like a one-bedroom, two-bedroom?

How much could you make working as a software engineer in New York City?

If you're at a tech company, you can make $2,000, $3,000, $4,000.

If you're not, probably max out around $2,000.

How much do you need to make in New York City to live comfortably?

Because I mean that's a whole bunch of money.

I'm sure you got to pay for outside food.

If you're willing to live with roommates, which here it's normal to live with roommates up into your 30s and beyond even, probably at least $100,000. $100,000 to live comfortably?

Do you think it's worth the money that you're paying right now for where you're living?

Well, not really compared to the places I lived in before.

Before I was in Japan, it was below $1,000 per month and it was way bigger.

So what's a salary you can make doing something like that?

In my case, approximately it's $170,000 per year.

Do you advise if you're watching to move to New York City?

I'm a real estate agent at Highline Residential.
