Here's my question guys, after paying for loans, rent, car, etc, how much money realistically do I need left over living in Manhattan or outer boroughs. Hours will be a lot so I presume going out expenses will be kept to weekends, but what is kinda the minimum number needed to get by? Thanks.

Knock the car off the list. You won't need one in the city and it will help soften the blow of the high rent.
As a native New Yorker, I can tell you that a car is definitely not worth it even if you live in the outer boroughs.
