I moved to the city in 2002 and lived off a retail job making $7.25/hr.
I currently make _significantly_ less than 100k and still feel I have a pretty comfortable life.Where there's a will, there's a way.

I think if you make over 50K, you can be really comfortable in NYC as a young person.
Over 80K and you can get a tiny apt. in a nice area for $2000+ a month.
If you share your apt with someone, it's even easier.
All of you are over-dramatic. Many people survive on much less and they don't all live in squalor in NJ.

"live in squalor in NJ." - you're smoking crack. Living in squalor is living in NYC if you're not a millionaire. You get less than 800 square feet for close to $2k, city and state taxes are a KILLER, and the quality of life is shit. 5 miles west to NJ and you can get 3 times the space with 1/4 of the bullshit for half as much. I guess it depends on your age and what you're into but the quality of life in NYC sucks balls!
- quality of life doesn't suck, it's one of the highest imaginable, at least in my manhattan-based lifemonospaced
