If you do your digging on finding a place and you don't mind having a roommate or 2, your standard of living really shouldn't change much. Drinking might be a little more expensive, however.

I would be living with my girlfriend and not sure exactly where I want to live. Know few people who lives in queens, but wouldn't want to live there. I just wanted to see if I do end up moving there I'll have enough monthly income to live modestly

@accenture 2 thanks! Hopefully I'll make around that level.

At 72k and 1400 rent, I was able to eat out and drink as much as I wanted and buy the things i wanted. Also saved 30k in the first two years. No loans though. Definitely doable.

^how??? I have loans but damn seems tough

I mean I don't pay for food during the week. Monthly credit card bill around $1200-1300

My family mistreated me when I was younger, and now that I don’t live at home, they don’t call or bother to look for me, because frankly, I think they have a hard time admitting what happened - and will never apologize to me either.

Has anyone ever gone through anything similar? Any advice or thoughts?
