Reply to comment by [deleted] in Not Even This City Councilman Can Find an Apartment in New York City by CactusBoyScout

Mandatory pension contributions, union dues, we have 2 cars as we don’t live in a borough with useable public transit, plus both constantly bringing materials to and from work. Utilities and just life events constantly (weddings birthdays etc).

Like I said we have enough to save but we don’t have a lot of disposable income at all.

The 2 cars seems like a big expense in the city

I don’t live in Manhattan, the local bus would turn a 25 minute drive into well over an hour commute. There’s also NO subway . Not really much of a choice.
