I'm thinking abt moving to NYC from Houston, what is the cost comparision and how much would i need to make?

Answer 1

According to a cost of living calculator, the cost of living in New York, NY is 97.3% higher than in Houston, TX. If you make $40,000 in Houston, you would need to make $78,911 to maintain your current standard of living in Manhattan. Employers in New York, NY typically pay 14.0% more than employers in Houston, TX. Therefore, if you take the same type of job in the same type of company in New York, NY you are likely to earn $45,600. It claims that you'd only need to make $49,871 if you were to move to Queens rather than Manhattan though to maintain your standard of living.

See my source, it's the calculator

Answer 2

I move to houston from nyc. My apartment in nyc was 1700 dollars for 1 bedroom. now i have a home in houston for 500 dollars a month. If you have no real experience in anything do not expect to get paid much. Now if you want to live in the ghetto you can expect to pay 700-900 a month for a 1-3 bedroom. I advise against that.

Answer 3
