    it's all relative, but I lived comfortably on 50k when I moved to NYC. I didn't save a penny, and didn't have one left over at the end of the month, but I also went out, had a good time, etc. and certainly didn't feel broke.

    It's also easy to move up from entry-level here if you're skilled. There's always an million new juniors coming into this city so a couple job hops and a promotion or two and you'll be making more in no time.
