Shop NYC Top

I am trying to get a realistic sense of how people in the city are saving money since NYC lifestyles seem to vary so widely.

If you are comfortable sharing, I would love to hear:

How much you are able to save or invest per month after rent, bills, food and other expenses

Optional but helpful:

A ballpark annual income Your neighborhood Age and career stage Living situation like solo, roommates, partner or family

Please do not shame or judge either way whether someone is saving a lot, a little, or nothing at all. NYC is expensive and circumstances vary. I just want to understand what real life looks like across the city and what even high income earners are saving.

I am not trying to flex or compare. Just genuinely curious.

Thanks to anyone willing to share. 🙏
