misleading if you ask me. shes splitting rent with her partner that makes a big difference. shes not living on her own in her own place. id imagine they be sharing a lot of the costs. a true living on 50K would be someone living alone, in their own place. imo.
How to live in NYC on $50k: move out.
How to live near NYC on $50k: move to the Bronx.
Why even go through the stress? Live outside the city until you can actually afford to move in.
Making 50k why not just live in a low COL city instead? Whatever job you’re doing in NYC that pays that much probably exists elsewhere too
Buy your groceries and get your haircut in Chinatown. Walk everywhere. Eat at Subway daily special. Old habits
I don't get why people without any real reason to be in expensive cities like living in them. If you don't need the network or specific jobs, then it's best to move somewhere where you can save money so when something unexpected happens you're not suddenly homeless with 3 dependents.
Broke hipsters love living in crowded shit-holes where they’re constantly harassed by vagrants. It’s a lifestyleeeee, maaaaaan.
