You can't find a good place for 3200?
3000 for a studio in manhattan
I’ve seen tiny studios for 2k, 2200
Rent in Staten Island and take the ferry, it's free
Is not opt to you to choose. Market has a minimum price, only way to spend less is to share apt that sucks
Depends on how you want to live and your savings goals. Since you have no debt you're in a good position. Still, I'd say no more than 3500 but probably closer to 2.8-3k would be ideal
Thanks
Is it impossible to get a studio in NYC for 1500 ish?
Yeah it was in the 1980s
1500 lolzzzz maybe 20 years ago. I wanna save too. I’ll aim for no more than 2300 total
Move to Jersey City/Weehawken/Hoboken
Personally I wouldn't spend more than 25% after tax. Yes, it will feel like you're slumming it compared to friends but you'll also be able to save way more and retire way earlier
$350
Wut
This posts makes no sense if the city isn’t given
