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

I use 1/3 of my apartment for my home office, so I pay 1/3 of my rent from my business account, and the rest from personal.

I’m in NYC - currently at 14% but roommate is moving out and it’s increasing by 2x. Bummed but I’m wondering where everyone else is at

what's your salary and neighborhood?? I live in NYC, lived in almost every borough the past 4 years, and any apartment I've ever lived in regardless of roommates was at LEAST 40% of my monthly pay.

To put it bluntly, I know certain people with less experience and a lower performance rating are getting paid more than me due to my role working with payroll data. I suspect this was due to the fact that I did not counter offer when I accepted this role, which was a few months ago, and now I regret it.
