Quote from: Rxxf on March 18, 2026, 11:42:37 PMNYC is a such a beautiful bubble and melting pot to live in.
But I think economically -- you have to feel comfortable to enjoy it.
thats true too.
And economic "comfort" really depends on what ur standard of living is or has become
IMO to be "comfortable" in NYC, as in living a really good upper middle class life there, you prob need to be making at least 700K
And honestly I feel that number should be higher - especially considering taxes
Like enough coin to completely remove yourself from all the mess somewhere high up in a fab spacious condo
But it's def a state of mind. some people are living with roommates and watching WWE Live on the subway everyday and feel they have a "comfortable" existence in NYC
And if that's their perception, it's their reality
