This seems like a strange question to a foreigner like me.

Presumably there are fast food restaurants and menial jobs in New York City. Ergo there are people living on minimum wage in the city, or near enough to commute. Therefore, provided $65k is equal to or greater than minimum wage, you can presumably survive on that level of income. Your savings would be dictated by how much $65k exceeds the minimum wage.
