Sheesh! And that doesn't even come close to what some people pay. NYC > Manhattan. It's insane! I live 10 minute bike ride from Manhattan, and pay just under $500.00 a month w/ two roomates (GF and best friend) for the first two floors of a brownstone, plus basement and backyard. I've had about four apartments in the past 10 years in this range in my area, it really does pay to live just a little out of the way! I do pretty well for myself these days and am stashing around 50% of my income away. I feel like people who pay some of these whopping amounts of money don't even get to enjoy the true treasures of the city, and money is tied to everything. Stressful.
