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.
