The REAL Script Content

“Today I’m going to show you exactly how much it costs to live in the most expensive city in the world. I started my day with an $8 latte because… well, it’s New York. Then I took the subway which is now $2.90. For lunch, I grabbed a quick salad for $18. By the time I got home, I had spent $142 and I didn’t even buy anything meaningful. This is the reality of living here.”
