Poors of r/nyc begrudgingly come to terms with the fact that $85k/year is, in fact, poor for NYC

Nah man. 85k in NYC is not 85k anywhere else. Especially if you have a family. After tax and deductions I see maybe 60% of my check. I have my pension, Union dues, health care, and all the taxes we all pay deducted.

My recent check is literally at 56%.

Common NYC :marseyl:

To rent a one-bedroom in NYC ($3,000) now, you have to earn $120,000 and have excellent credit. $85k doesn't even cover a Studio lease application.

That part. $120k is working class.

:marseyrofl:

An entrepreneur weighs in.

For reference, I used to deal drugs and I only made 80k untaxed for a full-time gig. So that's about the same, really. Also you aren't making that selling anything softer than cocaine nowadays. Now I have a real job and I make 32k. Late stage capitalism is definitely working just fine; nothing to worry about or change. All good πŸ‘πŸ˜ŠπŸŒž

I don't know what capitalism has to do with making shit money and willingly living in one of the most expensive places in the world, but sure, let's go with that.

No offense, if y'all seriously believe this you're out of touch with how most people live. Most of NYC's household income is lower. You're just trying to live beyond your means.

:marseyhesright:

Makes 85k a year. Still needs a roommate

Frick landlords

As if this poorstrag can afford a place by himself if NYC landlords magically disappeared.

anyone who thinks 85k is not poor is very likely hopelessly poor themselves and too uneducated to realize they're pretty much fricked when retirement time comes around. :marseyrope:

Deeply out-of-touch comment. You have no idea how the average person lives :soycry:

lol i know how the average person lives. i'm not rich. i grew up in the projects. my point here is all these people including me are fricked. :marseypoor:

I know people who's whole plan is being on public assistance. [-38]

I guess this triggered a lot of people seeing their future.

:marseyitsallsotiresome2#: We've had this diskussion before, and more than that you're doing exactly as I describe in my post. You're a grift, I know your game is just to get reaktions so you can farm pings for the coins. It's highly regulated, expansive ineffiecient Government policies and quite libshitty depending on where you are. Marxist-adjacent if nothing else.
