It's actually not that hard to live frugally in NY. Rent is really high, but if you know where to look, everything else can be found very cheap.
I lived a very social life, going out to bars frequently, going to concerts, events, museums, etc, and even managed to save a little during that time.
I certainly enjoy making more money than that, and have no desire to go back. But it wasn't that bad.
I didn't have a family, or anything like that. That would have been impossible.
Do you still live in NY?
Moved to San Francisco a year ago.
I'm sure I'll return to Brooklyn soon enough, but for now I'm experiencing the other coast.
You sound like an interesting guy. I'll bet that you've got some stories to tell.
I've never been to NYC. I'm sure that it is the bomb.
