Wow, it's so surprising how people "can't" live well on $140k in major metro cities (e.g. NYC). I feel like that is a good salary. I wonder what people are spending their money on. Is it because most have student loans to pay? I want to know the breakdown of expenses before one can declare this salary is good or bad.
- Denzel 9y agoYeah, I'm not sure what these people are talking about. I lived quite well as a single male working in Manhattan proper with a sub six-figure salary; living in Hoboken, and commuting maybe 15-20 mins everyday on the PATH. This was around 2013-14. And I lived like a king in my opinion... was able to save money, build my credit, eat out wherever, never pay attention to price tags when shopping, and take trips/vacations, etc. Maybe things have changed.
