Is 60k a livable salary in New York City?

[Gully Bull]

Eh, it’ll be very rough. You can even move to shytty Bridgeport, CT, take an hour train ride and you’ll still at $2000 a month for a one bedroom. That’s $24K a year in rent alone. After taxes you’ll only have $21K for everything else.

I guess it’s doable, but it’ll be very rough. I had a friend live with 2 other people in Brooklyn 10 years ago and she was just making $55K. Her parents had to pay her rent.

Suggest Bridgeport, Ct brahs

*waits for swarm of a NYC posters to stampede in here talking about how you need a second job and how that's acceptable because only hustlers make it out the 200 sq ft apartments*

Of course you can, I live in Queens and I’m doing fine.

 

[JerseyFinest!]

If you let anybody convince you that 60k isn’t enough to live anywhere in America

 

[Rell Lauren]

Why not just live in Hoboken

Hoboken isn't affordable.

 

[97Pac]

No. You will need roommates. I make north of 90K and I stress out about finding an affordable place that isn't the size of a closet that will allow me to save money while paying rent. I don't see myself living here in the next couple of years.

My salary is close to yours and im looking to relocate to NYC. Is it possible to find nice 1 bedroom apartment is Harlem or Brooklyn. Will I struggle on a $90k salary?

No. You can get a new apartment in BK or Queens. I don’t know about Harlem

 

[Doctor Wily]

It’s just me.

Well in that instance play on playa and strap your shyt up till you settle down with a shorty making NO LESS than 50k.

Even the most basic LPNs make 55k with no so good luck man

Harlem not at all (but if you have fam or friends in queens/long island I suggest you keep your car out there).

Brooklyn anywhere east of Bedford Avenue shouldn't be a problem at 90k.

Tell that to people in SF and LA

 

[50CentStan]

60k is barely get by money in Houston. In NYC I wouldnt even consider it breh

 

[BlackBall]

With zero debt maybe but you’re apartment will be a dump

Most of my college friends are im Manhattan, Some lower east-side, some upper west-side. So im trying to be close to them. Im paying $1400 for rent now living in Florida and my income will be about $20k more a year in NY. I wont be bringing a car up but I may bring my motorcycle up, but I know parking is a bytch and nypd loves to tow motorcycle and scooters as a easy cash grab.

Roommates plus not living in the trendiest neighborhoods...yes
