A single renter who lives alone in a 1-bedroom apartment in lower Manhattan. I previously lived on a slighted smaller salary in a studio apartment in downtown SF (about 5 years ago). I don't have or want children a car or to own a home, which if of course a gargantuan difference in how far $150k will take you.
