NYC expenses are so high. Do you managed to still save a lot after all your expenses and entertainment?

yeah, green card holder. Tax is insane high roughly around 28% for my salary bracket, will have a better idea once my pay cheque is out since is paid every 2 weeks

That's not high by American standard. How about income taxes and other taxes?
Rental is going to cost around usd2k-3k already. Unless you share a very shabby apartment.

you are right, there is federal tax, state tax, local tax, social security tax, medicare tax, and etc.
