I am 12 years old and i want to move to New York and live in the Plaza when i am 18 or 19(for collage.) I know this maybe impossible to answer but:If i get around 100 bucks a year (christmas, birthdays,etc) and when i am 14 i can get a job that pays like 7 bucks an hour how long will it take me to get 1.6 million dollars? but when i am like 16 i can get a job that pays more. Sorry if anyone thinks this is a stupid question but i am obsessed with this so please no rude comments! thanksss!! P.S- on the plaza website it says the condos start at 1.6 million is that per year? And they are about 500-600 square feet what can i compare that to.
It s not possible for you to get $1.6 million by working minimum wage for 4 years, sorry. It s a nice dream but it s really not feasible.500-600 sq feet isn t really all that big. I think the average hotel room is like 300 sq feet, so just double it. Keep in mind that would have to fit everything (bedroom, kitchen, bathroom, etc).I ve never really worried about getting mugged. Most people don t give it a passing thought. As long as you have street smarts (like, don t keep your wallet out for everyone to see), you ll be fine. I used to live in NY, I still work there, and I love it.
Unfortunately it will take you most of your life to save $1.6 million dollars, even if you were to earn much more than $7 an hour. The only people who can afford to live in a place like the Plaza are those who come from very wealthy families, or have very high paying jobs (like top lawyers and financial managers).As for safety, crime is no longer a major problem in New York City. As long as you become street smart (avoiding deserted areas, not showing large amounts of cash, etc.), it is unlikely you will be mugged.
Bless your heart - what a fantastic obsession!!! The Plaza is my favorite hotel in Manhattan. As far as the Sq ft. goes, 500-600 is very small and you might compare it to a one car garage. You asked if the 1.6 million was per year and I don t know without reading the info myself. We have been going to NYC twice a year for about 20 years and I love it more than anyplace in the world. If you stay in safe areas and at reasonable hours you are quite safe. I have never felt afraid of being there. We live in Atlanta and I get nervous in many of the areas here and I honestly feel safer in NYC. I don t want to be rude however with the money that you have and potentially earn, your expectations just might be unobtainable. Keep in mind that I didn t say impossible. You do have to consider the FACT that living expenses in Manhattan are outrageous. I am going to check out some websites for you and list below. The first couple of sites might help you figure out how long it will take you to save the money, I have also listed sites that contain general info on the Plaza. You may be able to get more info just by browsing these sites. You should probably just go to the Plaza, get a room and an appointment with the hotel management or a broker so they could help you. You can get a reasonably priced room by booking with http://www.expedia.com/ (Try different days and dates to get the best rate)http://reservationcounter.com/hotels/sho��P.S. This is not a stupid question, in fact I think it is one of the most interesting ones I have read in a while. Good luck to you and I really do hope that you will be able to achieve this dream of yours.
Im going to bite on this and assume you re not kidding.600 square feet is not a lot. An average kitchen can be 90-100 square feet. A large living room 200 -400 square feet.Not everyone worries about being mugged here. Just the people who are not muggers. Just kidding.Crime happens everywhere and where there are more people there will be more of everything people do including mugging other people.Or helping other people.Best of luck with your dreams,even though it sounds a little bit like you re going to need more money.Actually it sounds like you re going to need a lot more money.Even if you never get to live in the Plaza Hotel, well still be here when you get around to coming to visit us here in New York. We hope you ll love as much as we do.In the mean time,save as much as you can (have some fun too) and study hard you could get a scholarship to a school here and that would certainly help you on your way.Till then, Greetings from your pal,The Town So Nice They Named it Twice NEW YORK,NEW YORK
