how much i spend living alone in nyc as a software engineer

hi friends! this week i decided to do a fun anxiety-provoking thing which is tracking my every $$ spent in the week. it is such a great privilege to be able to live in nyc, and i am fully aware of it. trying to make the most out of every moment (while not running my savings to the ground haha). let me know what you think!!

[@mangalamsharma8571]

Soon I'd come work in New York too. It's been my dream too, so I hope to meet you someday! Seeing you motivates me and gives this reassuring feeling that I'd be okay and that I'd survive too. I'm 22 and completing my graduation, so Whenever the right opportunity lands, I'll make sure to grab it right away. I too am looking for Tech Jobs cause I myself am a Software Engineer, hoping I'd get lucky and be and work in New York City.

Mealpal is so good for BBG employees working in NYC. The only downside is that the meals offered doesn't change like office snacks 🥲
