    You have it backwards. 100k in Manhattan is not wealthy, let alone insanely wealthy. 11k is insanely impoverished, even if you live in the middle of nowhere.

      I was living with about 10k CAD/y for a few years when I was single and I was mostly fine.

      Granted, this was in the 2010s. And of course I wasn’t in Manhattan, as you can guess by the currency.

      Now, I’m making about 70k CAD with a family (sole provider) and I’m just staying afloat.
