When you take the salary of an average (not wealthy or poor, but middle class) New Yorker living in the heart of the city into account, is it even enough to not only pay rent (on top of a deposit in advance for first time renters) including bills utilities, internet, maintainence fees or muncipality fees & not forgetting food on the table. I’ve heard that NYC has the reputation of being the most expensive in the globe. Is that true?
The increase cost make it hard to make it in the city. The minimum wage is higher and wages are generally higher but it hard and many have to deal with a long commute to get something affordable. I did want to mention that new york is pretty expensive but I usually saw london, moscow, tokyo vying for most expensive.
