I can&#x27;t speak for SF, but for a single person at least, $125k&#x2F;yr is easily doable in NYC. Sure, you won&#x27;t have a spacious loft all to yourself in SoHo perhaps, but you&#x27;ll get by just fine on that salary.<p>Now if you&#x27;re talking about raising a family on a single income of that much, that&#x27;s a different story...
