[quote=Anonymous]I made $70k/year when I first moved there, in 2003, and I also had student loan payments. I lived in Manhattan and did ok- I had some social life, did some traveling, and didn't go into credit card debt or anything like that. Obviously $40k is way less. The biggest thing is going to be housing. The good parts of Brooklyn are as expensive as Manhattan. She should look for something in Queens; there may also be some deals to be had in a walkup on the UES, or far north manhattan. Really, though- even Bushwick, Prospect Heights, etc. are pretty expensive now. Does she know anyone there? The apartment market is kind of crazy in NYC; I got a great deal on 2 places basically because I took over leases for friends or acquaintances who were moving out.[/quote]
