Affordability of Studio for Starting IB Analyst

Hi All,

I am starting full time in the Summer and was hoping to live alone. However, despite using all the income and housing affordability calculators online I am just not sure if it is affordable on a BB salary. I don't feel the need to live in a trendy area - I just want to be in Manhattan within a 25 min subway ride of Times Square area.

Generally speaking I live pretty frugaly so my discretionary spending is going to be on the lower side.

Can anyone with experience share their thoughts?

Thanks!
