How much would you have to save to live in New York City, New York [I New York]

One of my cousins and I were thinking about living in New York but after hearing about how much apartments cost I think we’re having second thoughts. One small apartment costs $2000 A month in rent. Are you crazy?! I guess it depends where in New York do you live in for thing about living in New York City but we were considering. It may be cold but New York is beautiful and we’re not gonna live in the same place forever. We might just stay where we are. People must be making hella money over there like that I mean New York is pretty exclusive and people get paid really good over there. I guess it depends on the job.

Since no bail NY, COVID19 restrictions and deblasio emptying the jails, NYC is dead. There are more random shootings and muggings. Shootings up 97%. There is now a rash of psychotics dragging people off train platforms and tossing them into the tracks. It is extremely expensive to live there and most of the small restaurants and stores are gone forever. I’m trying to get out of here.

If you still want to move, make sure you know which areas to avoid. I’m as far East as you can get in Queens, but I have a car and no longer work in Manhattan.

By the way I don’t make a lot of money. I have 3 jobs so I can live here.

@CompTrain82 Damn for real?! 🙄🙄
No I’m really glad my cousin and I are we considering. Probably not going to move there right now. I mean we don’t know what the future holds but we’re reconsidering.

@PetiteJulie01 For real. I never ever thought I would want to leave NYC (born here), but now I can’t wait to leave. Also, having a kid, I don’t see future for her here.
