Customer Reviews

Buy this book!

Buy this book for any young person you know who's just starting out in a new city. This book was given to me by a family friend and after using it, I bought it for two of my cousins -- one who was moving to Chicago and the other to San Francisco (I just moved to NYC). All of us have found Mrs. Neufeld's tips on networking, job interviews, and apartment hunting to be very helpful. I particularly appreciate the author's humorous writing style and clear insight into being 20ish and trying to figure it all out!

Apartment Listings are worth it alone!

Just moved to NYC and was looking for an affordable place to live. The management company listings the author recommends are worth the entire book! They're totally legit, offer no-fee, no-frills real listings and got me the best deal in the heart of the city. The rest of the info is incredibly useful too, I just know that this is the best $14.95 I've ever spent. Thank you for writing this book!

This book is amazing!

I just moved from Chicago to San Francisco and this book has everything in it that I've ever needed to know about both cities! I'm even questioning my move as I now know things about Chicago that I didn't know before. It's incredibly well thought-out, easy to read and the resources are great. The author leaves out nothing! She totally knows what's going on inside the head of a 20-something who doesn't have a lot of cash but wants to make a move anyway. The dream job section is so helpful! This is by far the best resource guide I've ever purchased.

this is the book that i always wished existed

having been living on my own for a number of years, i have always had tons of questions about practical stuff that no one seemed to have the right answers to, even though Everyone i knew was also always asking about the same things: how to get the best apartment deals, how to best manage money and banking, how to get health insurance if your employer doesn't give it to you, etc. this book is the first i've ever seen that gives all the RIGHT answers, and in a way that you can really understand! plus, it's actually funny and you can tell the author is really smart and knows what she's talking about. she even gives totally great advice about fun stuff, too. her section about dating is dead-on and totally hilarious. she really knows what it's like to be young (and kind of poor) in the city. i feel like this book was written specifically for me and all my friends and anyone (even guys) who is living in any big city, especially new york -- she has Us pegged!! she really understands all our problems. this generation really goes out on their own a lot, moving from place to place, far from where we grew up, and this book is the perfect thing to have on hand to make things easier. LOVE IT!!!!!

Love This Book!

I just moved to New York and have been struggling to make ends meet while also trying to meet people and have a social life! This book gave me a ton of great ideas and resources. I would recommend it to anyone who is starting out or moving to a new city.
