nyc: Like 60 000? 100 000 250 000 and also I know havening a car is rubbish but how much would you need to make to own a car in nyc|||For starters, the median income in NYC (including the outer boroughs) is $55,000, and the per capita income is $30,000, so that should give you an idea. It also depends what your lifestyle is like. If you live in a two-story home in Staten Island and have a car, it'll probably cost a lot less than living in an apartment on the Upper East Side of Manhattan without a car. Basically, the further from Manhattan you get, the more affordable it becomes. I hope this information was very helpful.|||i could get to Providence on my T pass i think NY is way too far for me to travel, even if i did want to go there. i can't even afford the chinese bus|||50 000
