Looking to finally get my (33/m) own place here in NYC. I will probably be spending close to 40-50 grand a year on rent and furniture on my new place... i could save that if I continue living with my parents. The 1 hr commute to and from work would also go down to 20-30 min...

So i started a real job 1 month ago and i make good money. I can afford to live by myself but rent in NYC isn't cheap but i am finding places in the 2-3k range. Total for the year cost would be 40kish... I am currently living with my parents after living alone for nearly 8 years and I could literally save 100-130k a year after taxes if I stay with my parents... So any advice? I really want to move so I could bring girls home :), be in a place with younger people, and be closer to work. Thanks all.
