Reply to comment by Frequent-Shape6950 in Ex-homeless tenants face mass eviction by Lower East Side landlord by natekrinsky

Does he provide healthcare? If no healthcare I would say her actual take home is $78k and that's not counting if he provides retirement match plan, though if he pays under the table then that's better than if you're making 120k

Good question. I'll ask next time he brings it up. He is a longtime close friend but makes 40x my income so I don't want to be nosy.

The point is, in 2023 NYC "six-figures" doesn't mean what it used to.

Oh definitely but in the framework of the article it doesn't mean you can't find a place to live in NY, just that it gets you a lot less. For those that make much less it's much harder to get by much less get ahead.
