i mean there are people living on food stamps and making way less, i think you’ll survive with 120k base and a bonus

What’s your bonus? If it’s over 10k (think of taxes) yes.

OP do you have college debt as a young 20 something? What’s your health insurance premium?

I make this amount as a 20something, spend 2k in rent, don’t pay meals during the week and it was liveable but became very liveable with bonus season.

Is this a serious question

Not gonna lie — I rolled my eyes at this question. 🙄

Yes, expect small apartment of course, that’s a given for manhattan I guess

Yeah just be smart. People survive on half that

Definitely, unless you have crazy debt. Consider living in Queens if you want to save more $$.

If you’re single and debt free - yes.

What on earth does “livable” mean here
