100k in NYC

Hahaha.

You know, teachers live in NYC too. And they aren't being paid 100 grand.

and how comfortably are they living?

Depends on where they live and how you define "comfortable."

But yeah, I would say that living comfortably in Manhattan requires at least 60-70K.

I did just fine around here when I bought my first house making about $25k. That was just me living in a nice house and owning two older cars.
