This one surprised me. Not that a 22 year old could live on less than $30,000 in NYC, but that she could also save $5,000, contribute to a retirement fund, and travel to Europe. Read about cheapskate's daughter at "Down but not out in Brooklyn." The keys?
Shared a nice apartment ($3,100 a month) and took the smallest room.
Used a subway card.
Ate inexpensive but healthy meals--beans and rice, whole grains, fresh vegetables, lentils, joined a food co-op. Ate at cheap restaurants.
Had no college debt to pay off.
Enjoyed the many free things to do in New York.
