[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is DCUM so people are going to say that you need $300k+ HHI to raise a family in NYC and that you need to send your kids to private. Neither are true. If you really want to live in NYC it’s completely possible to live in a 2BR rental & send your kids to the local public[/quote]

Do you live in there on under a 300k HHI?  Please share your expenses then. [/quote]

Not PP but the median HHI there is only $127k.[/quote]

A lot of people here are young and just starting out, bunking with four roommates and taking advantage of free lunches at work. A lot of people (including almost everyone I know) move to the suburbs once they have kids. It’s just so expensive to raise children here, and honestly gets tiring after a while. I’m a big law partner and even at that income a majority of people move to the suburbs.  [/quote]

I lived there with my parents in the early 2000s and their HHI was 5 figures. It was not difficult to make ends meet and we did not feel poor. I am also in biglaw and not surprised you cannot fully understand the lives of the poorer people who serve you.[/quote]

Are you delusional?  Renting a decent 2 bedroom is at least 6k.  More like 9-10k in you’re picky and want a nicer neighborhood.  6*12 = 72k just in rent post tax!

It was 3.5k when I rented two years ago in a modern building with comprehensive amenities.[/quote]
