The salary/remuneration for a particular job is the market value for a particular profession and designation at the city/town where the office is located. Job postings at websites like Monster, Yahoo HotJobs and Careerbuilder carry information about salaries. The Govt Dept of Labor, (www.bls.gov) Bureau of statistics has information about median salaries for different professions and details of additional compensation offered. Other online resources are salary.com and payscale. Your salary will also depend on your educational qualification and how you handle your career.

on 40 – 45k it would be tough to make it in LI if you’re paying 1,100 – 1,400 for rent. First off, you won’t have that much left over after rent and if you live in LI you’ll need transportation. You know a car can be expensive and if you rely on public trans that get costly too.

I would advise you to look into basement apt. or roommates/parents or find a job that’s going to pay at least 50k and up.

If you made 40k after taxes, you could afford a $933 apartment, and still live well.

if you have no debt, 30% of your take home pay can go to rent and the rest is easy for expenses and fun.
