Is 89k a year enough to make it in NYC?

[NobodyReally]

Rent depends on where you live. It can vary widely. Definitely check around to comparison shop by neighborhood.

If you live frugally, don't have a lot of debt, live in a less gentrified area, and don't try to eat out/hang out at the clubs a lot, you should be fine. If you drive a car, go ahead and take $400-600 off the top right now. I'd suggest ditching it unless your job depends on having one.

I do...
The price of EVERYTHING is rising.
but available jobs and pay scale are not.
It has to come to a head eventually.

So pretty much we just enjoy the ride till it crashes lol

I heard East NY, brownsville and Morrisania in the BX are pretty affordable and safe

 

[Doobie Doo]

Why don't you use a cost of living calculator on Google

My nikka went from being in the hood to making 89k a year

I gotta get my paper up

 

[sfgiants]

My moms used to pay 1200 a month to live in a small ass apartment in the worst ghetto in long beach. LA aint no better.

There's big lofts in downtown la for around 2k. Being from sf that shyt is a steal, u can't even get a broom closet out here for 2500$

 

[Cave Savage]

Yea.

If you wanna save money just move to Brooklyn or queens.

It's not worth living in Manhattan unless you're rich.

Washington Heights and Inwood aren't that expensive (for NYC standards), to my understanding.

breh he can qualify for a 1 bedroom in prime Harlem with a 90k salary.

 

[MikelArteta]

yuck at living in a place where 90k is barely able to get by

 

[Lavish]

this nikka probably just submitted his resume a few min ago to a job that pays 89k and decided to make a thread

so you mean to tell me you went through the whole interview process for this 89k job ( which is likely an intense process), waited, got a reply, got a job offer..and now your wondering if you should take it?

why go through all the process if you not sure if you would take it

I know why

because its

I suppose it depends on your lifestyle. I make a little more than that in Iowa (and my wife makes close to that), and we could still probably use more money. I mean, I don't think about bills or whether or not I can buy something ... but I am not stacking thousands every month, even though I live in a relatively low cost of living area.

lol I love my city but don't tell a young black male out-of-towner to move to Newark.

Maybe Kearny or Harrison if you wanna be close enough to transit and have cheap rent.

Cheap rent in Harrison? Whenever I ride though there on PATH I only see those fancy luxury apartments, and the rest is industrial.

you'll be living paycheck to paycheck
