No Wonder I'm So Broke...


A new study shows that if you make over $100,000 a year in New York City, you're barely middle class. NY Daily News:

A New Yorker would have to make $123,322 a year to have the same standard of living as someone making $50,000 in Houston.

In Manhattan, a $60,000 salary is equivalent to someone making $26,092 in Atlanta....

The average monthly rent in New York is $2,801, 53% higher than San Francisco, the second most expensive city in the country.

I guess this makes me, officially, "poor". Poverty sucks.
