@janetlinxo: You make $100K IN NYC but still BROKE? 😩😭 This is what a realistic monthly budget looks like for a new grad earning $100K in NYC (after taxes, rent, transportation, basic groceries- literally nothing fancy, utilities, subscriptions and a social life) The take home pay is closer to $5400 a month. And after some frugal budgeting you have ~$2000 leftover NYC IS SUPER WORTH IT. But you NEED a game plan. This is why financial literacy matters so much, this is why you need to track every dollar. Save this if you’re moving to NYC, want to build wealth in a high cost city or just want to feel less alone watching your paycheck disappear 🥲 #nycsalary #Tech #financebreakdown #finance #personalfibance #budget #income #costofliving
