I make almost $200k a year and I live like a fukking pauper. NYC is no place to be if you aspire to save and build wealth. It costs too damn much.

Why would u want to with those prices? If you love the area you could just go there and visit all the time if you can afford to live out there. Use the money you would be paying to live out there as your savings for trips to go there. shyt is crazy
Ands that the average price for some rat infested apartment with those old heaters
Yeah I hope to be in this range one day and I still wouldn't live in New York even if I made more than that. If you must experience the city I would just living ina cheaper surrounding area and travel when I want to enjoy the city life. Like an hour out of so.
shyts not even nice plus and filled with mentally ill
So the suburbs
A match box? Try again I just rented an 800sqft apartment for 1450 in a good area.

I pay about $1500 a month in Queens split with the Woman about 30 min away from Midtown and 1 hour away downtown or BK. Not moving anytime soon.
$2k is about the average for 1 BR in a moderately popular area, you can pay less but with a longer commute. We're trying to take advantage of the local real estate slow down. There are microtrends happening the realtor won't tell you about

I'll be honest I'm not sure I would live what would constitute the suburbs. Definitely not in these cookie cutter style suburbs where all the houses are the same these days.
I'm a nature guy and love some isolation so probably something that would more constitute the country or rural area. I lived in some apartments that were odd and situated in this sort of area by its lonesome and just being outside where it's quiet and you can smell the trees and see all types of wildlife from deer, wild turkey, etc. is something I'm determined to make part of my permenant living arraignment. Not sure if areas like this outside of NYC exist.
I make a fraction of that and live fairly well, just don't get to Dave much. No section 8 or anything like that.
At some point though it stop being a question if you can afford it and whether just on principle is spending that much on rent is really worth it when there are cheaper options and you can use that money for something more fulfilling.

How much of your paycheck per month is going towards rent and utilities? Like what percent.
