I used to spend $7k / mo living in Manhattan. Now I have a live in gf, and we spend ~$3k/mo living in the same place in Manhattan. The extra $1k/mo from coreymass is probably from the difference in rent.

Pretty similar lifestyle change: no cabs, drink out 1-2x / wk, go to great restaurants 1-2x / wk, and cook at home a lot. We like going out to gritty New York to explore on weekends, and enjoy the fast commutes to work during the weekdays.
