Kristen Johnson has some good answers to NYMag.com’s usual survey.
Except the “would you live here on $35,000” question still pisses me off.
Because some of us have to/had to.
With sincere curiosity, I want to know HOW ya’ll survived. I honestly can’t comprehend it. $35K in Manhattan??? You could barely live in West Hartford on that, if you want to do anything more then sleep and work.
Do you live in Manhattan? Do you eat? Do your parents help you? How do you look so chic all the time? Are you in debt? My friends in Connecticut ALWAYS talk about how we can’t comprehend how people work entry-level jobs in Manhattan if their parents aren’t helping.
I’m genuinely curious. Please share!

Haha, me too. Six years later, I’m just now paying off my debt from the first three years I lived in NYC.
