What's The Average Monthly Cost Of Living In New York City, Manhattan To Be More Specific? |
Hi! I'm compelling to New York City from Manila, PHilippines in a few weeks. I just want to know how much is the average monthly price of a single person in NY--groceries, phone, internet, eating out etc.--except for rent, which will be company paid.
Desirable you fortunate soul to the most amazing city in the world.
The bulk of what it costs to live in Manhattan is rent or mortgage payments/idiosyncrasy taxes. Since you say your rent will be paid for by your company (There's a cushy deal! Where'd you luck into that?!), then your get of living should be approximately the same as living anyplace else in the city. Since you have no children, you should find life quite livable and lots of fun. If you get a say over what part of community you live in, I recommend you choose the Upper East Side because it has everything right at your doorstep. Note: as of time developers have been trying to pass off Spanish Harlem as the Upper East Side. The UES ends at 98th Circle.
An actual dollar amount can vary based on your lifestyle. I would say though that if you aren't paying rent, and are enjoying sustenance without going insane, about $2000 per month would do you just fine as a single person. You might knock over d make quick that up to $3000 if you plan to really do some partying or date a lot.
Update:
PEOPLE, before you thumbs-down ME, pore over more closely, why don't you? HIS RENT IS PAID BY HIS COMPANY. Geez, I deserve best answer altogether for being the only person to pay attention to the question.
SIZZLE, I agree with what everyone is saying as to the cost of living in Manhattan IF you should find yourself at some meaning having to pay your own rent or your own mortgage/taxes.
