NYC: A How To Guide

Leaving NYC by plane, August 2017

For the average person living in a small town in Southern Oklahoma who has never lived in New York I go to NYC a lot. The reality is actually 3-4 times a year and that only started about four years ago. Before that time I lived in a big house with a pool so I stayed home a lot. Somewhere along the way (okay there was a flood and I moved back to my home town) I changed my priorities and the big house with the pool was not one of those.

Due to the fact that I tend to go a lot I get a ton of questions about my travel. The two most popular are:
1. I'm going to New York what should I do?
2. You're in New York AGAIN, how do you do it?

So I've decided to put together a how to guide. This will all be accessible from this little blog post so if you should travel to NYC you can access it from this blog. I'm going to write several posts, but link them all here.

A few things to know about this:

First off, it will likely be a work in progress for awhile.

Second, I do not travel like everyone else. (Dave Ramsey says 'live like no one else so later you can live like no one else.' Now that has to do with savings and debt and all of that, but I travel like no one else so I can travel like no one else.)

Third, my priorities may not be the same as your priorities and this will be based upon my worldview and what I actually do.

Fourth, my income situation is not the same as yours. I do try to travel as cheaply as humanly possible, but there are many reasons I am able to have the available income for travel that I do (which will be addressed).

So jump in and check it out (if there isn't a hyperlink then it's not written yet...keep coming back):
