35% pre tax/health insurance/401k contrition.

After food and everything I basically have zero leftover.

I live alone in nyc. I’m 38 and just can’t imagine having a roommate at this point.

Luckily I have a side gig that earns around $30,000/year so I use that for savings and extras.

Even with that, I’m paying too much in rent.

18% - I live in NYC with two roommates in Williamsburg. The place I live in is older and not super updated, but very spacious and we have a patio. It’s a great deal for location and space
