NYC - Where are we living?

Jesus fucking Christ the rents keep going up every year and I cannot stomach using one whole paycheck on rent anymore. Are we downsizing? Giving up amenities? Moving out of manhattan? Where is everyone living and how are you budgeting for it?

It's not for everyone, but I left Manhattan now that I'm married and boring. Got more bang for my buck in Queens (Astoria / LIC / etc.). Currently in a 2BR 2BA for $4.8k. 

If you're a young single person who wants nightlife then I wouldn't recommend it tho because it's quieter around here.
