Comfortable income in the Albany area? (Manchester: living in, eat, money)

[MRIGUY]

Just curious if $95-100K is enough for a single guy to live comfortably in the Albany area. I'm originally from the Manchester area of New Hampshire, is it a similar atmosphere?

Thanks!

I guess it depends on your definition of living "comfortably" but, for me, $90 - $100k is more than enough. I'm a single guy living "comfortably" in Albany on about $30k less than that.

As a single person thats more than enough. You can live comfortable on 35k there.

Thanks!

this is just so amazing I cant tell if it is even a joke. I know single people living comfortable on 20K - 25K. I know families that live on 25K/yr and are happy and content and no they are not eating off the street and living under bridges either. All I know is I think the majority of people in the Albany area would just die for 95-100K. With that wage I think the only place you would not have everything you ever wanted would be Long Island. you must have quite the lifestyle.

our family of four plans to live happily on less than that up there! that's a lot of money for one person!

Thanks for the replies everyone. I've been living in the south for the last 13 years or have become spoiled with how cheap everything is down here.
