Living In An $1,850/Month Loft in Yonkers, NY | Unlocked

Denise Francis, 27, lives in a 1-bedroom loft apartment in Yonkers, NY and pays $1,850 a month in rent. Since graduating from college, Denise had been saving up to move out of the two-bedroom apartment in Brooklyn where she lived her whole life. "This Brooklyn girl ended up in Yonkers because this had all the things that I needed: the complete loft upstairs, the different rooms and more than enough space," she says.
Unlocked is a new home tour series focused on how much people across the U.S. spend on their housing, what they get for the money and what they had to sacrifice to make it happen.

My son is also a Millennial. Love him to pieces. He is an Active Duty Soldier, and gave me my YT comment name many years ago. Nicknames? He was Young Punk, and I was Old Lady, until he was in 3rd grade when he learned what the word Major meant - likely on the playground, lol. Now, he and his friends and Barracks Battle Buddies just call me MOL, the acronym for Major Old Lady, and I love it! Reply back, if you are so inclined, ok?

    Great video, it reminds me 8 months ago, when I was so poor and broke that I could barely afford a meal a day. I remember that I had to take the biggest step in my life when I invested my last income with a specialist trader who works with a Forex trading company. It may seem little, but it took courage to know that investing was the right thing to do at that moment. Today, my small investment of just $ 1000 raised more than $ 150,000. Honestly, to succeed, you need to take a big step. That's where it all starts. Forex is also a good investment.

    I enjoyed this episode. Denise has such a lovely and open spirit. Her sense of style is is simple yet slightly exotic. I loved the African coffee table by the pink couch, as well as the orange arch as an accent piece, and the plant table in the breakfast nook area. Not to mention her puppy.....cuteness overload! The spaciousness of her loft suits her well, instead of a cramped apartment in a more upmarket part of the city. I’m glad she was careful and thorough in her approach to locating and renting the property, and managed to avoid being scammed in the process.
