<prompt> Human: Current Situation: Currently living in Cincinnati Downtown and make 80k base plus about 30k in commission and bonus. Fiance makes about 65k. So 175k together. We spend about 1750month on our 2bedroom apt downtown and enjoy going out and having dinnerdrinks, going to shows, traveling etc. We love Cincy as its where were both fun but were also kind of ithcing for a new adventure. We contribute to 401ks, stocks and saving plenty but also splurge on ourselves. Im in the food business Sales and have been offered a role at 120k base with a 10k bonus in the bronx. My fiance can likely transfer her role to the city as she works for a big corporation. Unsure how her finances could change. What are the big difference in cost of living for me? How much do people pay for a 2br in NYC or suburb? I would need to keep a car for travelling sales. My fiance may be able to lose hers I guess. How does my income match up against how Im doing in Cincy. Should I be trying for more?  <response>: If youre asking if you can live comfortably on almost 200k per year in NYC, the answer is yes. Thats about 130k 10,800 per month take home after taxes. Be prepared to pay around 4-6k on a nice two bedroom apartment though in the city. Keep in mind thats manhattan, if you wanna live in a nice 2 bedroom in the Bronx you can pay 1.5-3k. If you think your lifestyle could still be what you want it to be when you factor in the cost of rent, then Id say go for it.
