0:00.0	Hi guys welcome back to but what's next with me Michelle Reed I am so excited for this
0:16.6	episode because it's actually my first official real solo episode I did want
0:21.8	as kind of like an intro to this podcast early on but I wanted to do a solo
0:26.0	podcast because obviously if you guys have listened to the intro and you've listened for a
0:30.3	little bit I really wanted this podcast to be pretty interview-based. I personally
0:35.4	really love listening to interview podcasts with guests and just really getting different
0:40.0	perspectives. Every now and then I do think it's nice to just throw in something that's solo from me personally from my own experiences and today's episode is one that I am really excited about because it's all about how I moved to New York City, why I wanted to live there, and kind of going through my college experience, why I chose to go to college in New York City, how I moved there.
1:00.0	I also wanted to talk a lot about financials. I really break down kind of how expensive it is for people who actually want to move there because I know that a lot of people listening probably have a dream to live in New York City and I know with

1:31.3	whenever you actually live somewhere there's so many
1:33.8	negatives but then when you're pulled away from it you only really remember the good things and so I am
1:38.2	going to go through pros and cons if anyone is thinking of moving there.
1:41.7	Obviously I know a lot of people probably aren't actually moving right now.
1:45.8	I know a lot of people are in a really weird stage with finding a job and kind of going
1:50.2	into post-grad life in a new city, but if you are looking to move to New York City in the future,
1:55.5	I think this is a good podcast to listen to and just one that I get a ton, a ton of questions on and I really
2:00.6	wanted to break it down.
2:01.6	So for a little bit of background, I was actually born in Chicago,
2:05.0	but I moved to Texas when I was literally like one years old,
