My name is Joey. I'm 25 years old and I live on east side of Manhattan. And like most of us New Yorkers, I'm struggling to survive in this exorbitant city. Every month I'm reminded of how comfortably I could be living elsewhere. But in spite of it all, I love life in the big city far to much to leave. So instead, I live paycheck to paycheck, without a penny saved, and too many pennies borrowed. Some people would say I live above my means, and they'd probably be right. Yet, nobody can seem to give me a compelling reason why I shouldn't. Why not take advantage of life while I'm still young? I see no sense in saving everything for when you're old and have nothing to spend it on.
Yes, I admit, it may be true that I am merely rationalizing my self-destructive behavior. But the fubared logic has worked for me so far, so until it no longer does, I'm sticking to it.

Don't always have to live above your means. I've always wanted to visit NY (I live in the UK), but I've been looking for a cheap way to do it. Now's a great time, thanks to the exchange rate (w00t!), but I figure every little helps. What do you reckon of my latest cunning scheme to get there quick and dirty?
