In a plot twist stranger than a TikTok flex, a Brooklyn native said goodbye to a $3,500 NYC rent nightmare for a $1,600 dream pad in Tulsa — thanks to the "Tulsa Remote" program which paid her $10,000 to relocate. She admits, "I cried the entire night" before flying off to cheaper living and river views. The move not only saved her wallet but radically upgraded her lifestyle with pool access and a washer/dryer combo that'd make any New Yorker jealous. Plus, she’s now clearing credit card debt and has made new friends attending events like a Wu-Tang Clan concert. Tulsa: where your rent's lower and your quality of life just went viral.
