    That really sucks, and I’m genuinely sorry you’ve had to deal with all that. $100K USD can be eaten up very quickly depending on your city’s cost of living though. I’d imagine someone making $100k USD in Manhattan would be barely scraping by as well

      100K in Manhattan is nothing. My father was a principal earning $150K and still could barely get by in the city.

      When apartments run total 40K annually, 100K is just a step above poverty wages.
