<prompt> Human: I am looking to move to a big city. Other expenses will include foodalcohol 600month - adjustable, parking a car 500month including gas. I will be fresh out of college with no dependenciesreal responsibilities. I am looking at jobs with roughly 60k starting salaries... is this enough to live off of and possibly save for my future?  <response>: 60k is enough as long as you keep your other expenses in check.In NYC a commonly used metric is the 40x-50x range. Your gross salary should be at least 40 times your monthly rent and ideally 50 times. Some building management companies require this mine requires 45x. Keep in mind, this doesnt apply perfectly to all cities as average NYC transportation costs are significantly lower. Car owners will want to aim for at least 50x which would put you right at 60k.
