<prompt> Human: Im moving to NYC this month and Im starting my apartment search now. Id like to lay out my finances here and see what you guys think. Moving to the city is a big change, but Im super excited. I want to make sure Im doing it right.First off, I realize Im in an incredibly fortunate and privileged position overall. Im 4 years into my career, single, have a decent amount of savings, and no debt.My current situation- 45k in my 401k- 75k saved in an investment account- 15k sitting in the bank- 5k for the car Im about to sellI was previously living in a CT suburb outside of Hartford making 69k a year and paying 675month for rent.My new job in NYC pays 120k. Based off the general rule of thumb that says you should be making 40x your monthly rent annually that comes out to 3000. Right now Im looking for apartments in the 1600-2000 range. Im just feeling a bit of sticker shock because Ive never made this much, and never paid this much in rent. I know I will be paying a higher percentage of my income in rent than I was previously, but I kind of expected I would at some point, I had a really good deal in CT. Im not trying to live in Jersey just to save some money, Im moving to NYC to be in NYC and would really like to be in Manhattan with a roommate.I do think I can afford it. I guess Im just looking to see if you guys agree. Im posting this to get thoughts and opinions from others.Thanks!Assistant: For 2,000 per month in Manhattan, I assumehope you are planning on getting a roommate? Human: Yes  <response>: Ah if youre planning on a roommate then youll be able to get a nice share in Manhattan proper for that amount.
