Yah you’re good
yeah, your monthly net income will be approx. $8,750 - the median NYC income is under 60k.
Pro
Median income for NYC isn't exactly a good proxy for COL in Manhattan.
If you moved to Jersey possibly. Also, define decent. That varies. For me decent requires at least one bedroom (no studios) and new construction with washer/dryer, but others may think that’s less than decent for them and others may find it extravagant. My commute to manhattan is pretty quick, but it’s a bit of a struggle on my nearly $140k salary excluding vacations and saving.
Could you define struggle? You're not saving as much as you'd like?
155k base here, live on my own, 2.7k net (3k gross) rent in luxury building in LIC. Gym/24hr concierge/etc.
I eat out/drink/party/travel with some money left over for investments.
I work in Strategy and Transactions. Some SMs had 60k bonuses this year. Managers ranged from 20-40k based on performance. I don’t know single manager less than 20k this year. My actual bonus last year was 38k (top performer).

I’m at 110 and can only cover my fixed costs. Hoping commissions come in because I’m using up savings to eat and go out.

Ah the internet, where complete strangers feel the urge to have an opinion over anything. Gotta love it!
Pro
You used a bunch of subjective qualifiers. What is a decent apartment or regular savings? But generally, I would tell you no..Manhattam costs are just outrageous.
Pro
Maybe if you have 8 kids and 100k in credit card debt. Otherwise it’s not that hard
Pro
Yes 150 is plenty
Not Manhattan but outer boroughs sure. Need $250k to live comfortably on your own in Manhattan.
