If it makes you feel any better, for the last three years, my wife and I saw <2k per month before tax and rent. I'm moving in a few months to get a better job. Still won't be making 80k, though.
Living in NYC as well? Its hard to find a place under about 1700 in remotely decent commuting distance, in a vaguely safe area that isn't full of roaches.
