Question

How much money should I save in order to live in a studio apartment in Queens, NY paying $1300?

Answer 1

NY is pretty expensive. You would have to consider the transportation cost (car, or Subway).

You would have to consider groceries, utilities, and personal expenses.

Save enough for a few months rent, and have extra. It is always good to have backup cash.

Also, getting a roommate might help. Instead of paying 1300 for a studio apartment, try renting "a room" or splitting rent with someone.

NY is costly, be prepared to use money.

Answer 2

My advice would be to save as much money as you possibly can ahead of time so that you are never in a hole. And so that in an emergency you can always cover your butt.
