He's being sarcastic.

Murry Hill is Midtown East but $1,600 for a Midtown studio seems suspiciously low...

My guess is that at that you'll see a lot of higher floor walk ups or very small (like under 300 sq ft) spaces but if you find something you can live with, go for it.

Hmmm. What's the most you're willing to spend?

Look at the outer boroughs. You'll get more space for your money.

What area are you going to be working in? And how far do you want to commute?

The guy's going to have a nice financial services job and all the anticipation of a lucrative career ahead - don't send him to the crap in the outer boroughs.

Find your studio in Murray Hill or the East Village and live it up.

If by "live it up" you mean live paycheck to paycheck so you can live in a closet with a Manhattan zip code, then sure, go for it. At 22 you should be spending your money on going out, not on rent. That's the point of living in Manhattan, which he won't be able to do with that income level.

Where does he say he'll have a job in the financial services industry ? I missed that part apparently.

And why are the outer botroughts crap? Please elaborate on that.

I personally know several guys who work in the Wall St area but prefer to live in Brooklyn or Queens to get more bang for their buck. The guy in Brooklyn, btw, has a better commute than most of his co-workers who live in Manhattan.
