From a foreigner point of view, it seems completely ridiculous that we are even debating if a couple with 1M per year can afford or not living in NYC.

- why_only_15 8y agoThis is not 1M+ per year, this is 100k+ per year. Six figures = 100k+
- ggregoire 8y ago> two six figure earners Since we are talking about Amazon highly paid engineers, could be 2x 200-500k.
- kgc 8y agoAmazon salary cap is 160k.
- ggregoire 8y agoDoesn’t seem true: https://www.levels.fyi/SE/Google/Facebook/Microsoft/ https://www.levels.fyi/SE/Google/Facebook/Microsoft/
- Spivak 8y agoSure, but I'm assuming the worst case for six figures. If your household income is $200k then even in NY you can easily afford a nice house or high-end condo/apt in a good part of town, while living in comfort with no financial worry.
