Oh and to top it all off everything costs twice as much! With that being said there are some great benefits to living in this city, there is no place in this country as diverse as New York City. Expect to get into a fist fight at least once or twice or some form of altercation. If you are okay with small apartments costing 2x-4x more than most places, riding shoulder to shoulder on public transportation, people trying to sell you things everywhere you look, homeless people in every corner, dealing with roaches and rats being among the least of your worries, then you'll love this place. So I've lived in NYC my entire life, and I can confidently say this place is not for everybody. How much do you take home after deductions? Regardless because I’m a writer I have to spend time over there after lockdown. I’ve seen pay slips online and they claim £75000 dollars - a year I’ve seen apartments in worser areas for less but not much less. I’ve seen hundred of 1-2 bed apartments in a good area in one of your skyscrapers with a gym (rubbish one) and some innovative design - THats between £3000 and £6000 alone - but what they don’t tell you is how much from your net pay you lose before it hits ya bank!!! Putting up with pollution, crime etc and high living costs. Let’s say your in a £75000 a year job - which is a good job but you work long hours in New York for that and will probably have no life) spending hours commuting. I’d have to commit to long hours and we’ll if they don’t line you they can get rid. For doing a customer service job in New York City (minus all the ridiculous costs on fashion you lot are into) I’d get £60-80k a year but need an American degree for that. For my house worth £250k I can buy a house with a pool in America. They claim the average salary is £28000 a year maybe it is but you really have to work a lot and maybe you’ll get that if you a manger or tradesman. You might make £2000 a month with overtime but you get taxes on this. That would be for a customer service, call centre, admin, business support, supervisory role. Jobs are so hard to get because of the amount of applicants and I have 12 years experience and a degree! Whatever.īut they’ll claim it’s £2200 Your lucky if you get that. Your £100 hang bag and make up and clothes. If you have a mummy and daddy they’ll pay for your car. If you earn a bit more then you can get a car. I have bad credit and no savings so I couldn’t get a mortgage. £100 a month food if you don’t like eating a lot You have to work long hours and put up with a lot of rubbish!Ĭouncil tax (not including income tax and national ins contribution)įor a two bedroom is cheap normally it’s £700 for somewhere good. Here unless you are from a rich family with good jobs life sucks. In 2008 the cost of a city centre apartment with hardly enough room to swing a cat - was about £625 rent for a 1 bedroom maybe 2. That’s Yorkshire for them that don’t know. I am not interested in sharing with some loud drunken hormonal idiots. I’m going to give you an example of my current circumstances and I want as many responses as possible to compare. I am wanting to know from someone that isn’t going to bull **** me what to expect for a monthly cost of living in Manhattan. Another place where things are stupidly costly on the money we get.
