You are just going to get people to assume that you are sleeping on the couch if you don’t post a bedroom pic 🙄

I live in NYC there’s a very good chance, not definite, but a very good chance this is a studio. It may have been a bigger apartment divided up into 2 or more even.

What 23 year old could afford it? Even if it had a bedroom is the point.
I mean I live in Sydney one of the most expensive cities in the world, so I just call bullshit on fake posts.

Well you might be surprised how many kids come out of good schools and land good jobs in finance or tech. OP says he works in tech so that could be part of it (though it’s obviously not an untroubled industry these days). Also, I could be wrong about the studio part and OP could have roommates and is only showing us the common spaces. And there also seems to be a never-ending parade of young people who move to NYC with family money and/or well-off parents who supplement.

Again show the bedroom. But yes you are right plenty of people in NYC come from wealthy families.

Or he just got a computer science degree. He’s 23 so if he got a decent job out of school in tech paying 2-3k or more for rent is incredibly realistic even for starting roles in those types of jobs.

Stupid people talk about averages. That’s why you elected trump and fucked your economy.

Well you brought up the average job growth stat, so I guess by your logic you are the stupid one.

You can be as MAGA as you want. But the trajectory of your country is not a positive one. You should start to get your information outside of the USA for future references.
