As a senior in high school, I've been looking at a bunch of college campuses all over the country, especially those on the East Coast. Some colleges in New York City were at the top of my list for a while — who could resist the beautiful skyline and bustling city life?
So I turned to TikTok. From discounted manicures to free activities, New York City TikTokers have been sharing their know-how on how to live the good life in the city on a budget.
Here are 11 tips on saving money in the city that I've learned from TikTok:
Blink gym memberships can be great, depending on whether you go to the gym consistently or you like working out with a friend. Blink offers two membership plans: The Green plan is $32 per month with a 12-month commitment, and the Gray plan is $33 per month with no commitment.
With the Green plan, you can visit any of the 100-plus locations and bring a friend every time you work out. Since you can bring a friend, you could conceivably split the cost of this membership with a pal and you'd be spending only about 50 cents on the gym every day. The Gray plan allows you single gym access and a free personal training session. With the Gray plan, if you're going to the gym every day, that means you're spending close to $1 per day on the gym.
AMC offers special Discount Tuesday deals for all levels of AMC Stubs members. At participating locations, you can watch movies for $5 or discounted prices every Tuesday. This means tickets are generally around 50% off on Tuesdays, which is a total steal — especially if you love going to the theater.

With free agency and the draft behind us, what 32 teams look like today will likely be what they look like Week 1 and beyond for the 2024 season. Matt Harmon and Scott Pianowski reveal the post-draft fantasy power rankings. The duo break down the rankings in six tiers: Elite offensive ecosystems, teams on the cusp of being complete mixed bag ecosystems, offensive ecosystems with something to prove, offenses that could go either way, and offenses that are best to stay away from in fantasy.
It’s key to note that we’re not saying the “best team” or “best roster.” Instead, we’re talking about the best confluence of factors that can outline a path for survival and then success.
Teams have made their big splashes in free agency and made their draft picks, it's time for you to do the same. It's fantasy football mock draft time. Some call this time of year best ball season, others know it's an opportunity to get a leg up on your competition for when you have to draft in August. The staff at Yahoo Fantasy did their first mock draft of the 2024 season to help you with the latter. Matt Harmon and Andy Behrens are here to break it all down by each round and crush some staff members in the process.
