$109k in Manhattan, or Silicon Valley is pretty poor.
- haswell 4y agoThis further highlights the reality of lower income brackets relative to that.
- ch4s3 4y agoIf you make that in Manhattan, you are probably young, or live in Queens/South Brooklyn/Jersey City and you’re doing fine. You get pinched if you make just enough to live in Manhattan or trendy nearby neighborhoods, and your career requires it, but not enough to save and prepare for retirement.
- wyre 4y agoLooks like median income in Silicon Valley is $126k [1] and median household income in Manhattan is $93k. I wouldn’t call $109k “pretty poor” in either local.
