Minimum cost to stay in the city for 3 months
Hi all, I'm from the UK and 24 years old. I really want to trial living in NYC for around 3 months. I could go to 2 months, but ideally 3 or so. I'm low-key broke rn, but I'm recieving 2k soon and currently looking for a job so I can save up as well. My step dad knows someone who could get me a job in their bar, and he's asking around if I could get accomodation too.
My mother has family there, my cousin's, who she thinks could possibly let me stay in a room. They are in the outskirts of the city though. So everything is up in the air right now. I would only go with some kind of income source lined up, even if it's part time. And affordable accommodation. How much would I have to save at the very least to be comfortable living there for 3 months? I don't want the trip to turn into survival mode and not experience the city to it's full potential. So any advice would be amazing.
Thank you!
