It is pretty crazy how little extra money buys you. E.g. in NYC, the only differences between a $2,000 month apartment and a $20,000 a month apartment are going to be things like location, granite countertops, a well-designed bathroom, and better windows. But in most cases the actual floor space and layout is going to be almost identical.
Clearly those things are worth something, but it's easy to see how the work and stress of paying for those accents is to result in a net negative happiness for many if not most people.
- umanwizard 8y agoThis is not true. $20,000/mo rent in NYC will get you a gigantic apartment (thousands of square feet), as you can verify on any housing listings website.
- Alex3917 8y agoIt can get you that, but not if you want to be in SoHo on the 30th floor of a luxury building or whatever.
- ameister14 8y agoYou are wrong. You'll pay $60-70 a square foot, but 20k will get you a lot. https://streeteasy.com/building/chelsea-modern/rental/2657434 https://streeteasy.com/building/chelsea-modern/rental/265743... https://streeteasy.com/building/336-west-23-street-manhattan/2 https://streeteasy.com/building/336-west-23-street-manhattan...
