NYC/NYstate/Federal income taxes gobble up 1/2 your check BEFORE you can pay any of your bills keep in mind that a studio *starts* at 2500/month this doesnt include parking which is ANOTHER 250-500/month ..taxis are a min of 20$ to go 1 block..meals are a min of 50$/per
While you should always take into account taxes and cost of living (and these things can be high in NYC), at least a couple of your figures are quite exaggerated: taxi fares are fixed at $2.50 + $0.40/ (quarter mile or 60 seconds)[1] and I've had many filling meals at restaurants in Manhattan for much less that $30.
