Whats the average monthly cost of living in New York City, Manhattan to be more specific?
Welcome 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/property 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 cost 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 town you live in, I recommend you choose the Upper East Side because it has everything right at your doorstep. Note: as of late developers have been trying to pass off Spanish Harlem as the Upper East Side. The UES ends at 98th Street. An actual dollar amount can vary based on your lifestyle. I would say though that if you aren’t paying rent, and are enjoying life without going insane, about $2000 per month would do you just fine as a single person. You might knock that up to $3000 if you plan to really do some part
