How can anyone afford this ?
Raquel, there is some nonsense in your post. You can get excellent Santoni shoes at their store for $450 plus tax, the same with Ferragamo. These are excellent brands. John Lobb will set you back for at least $1000,true.$2k rent will get you more ...

$2k rent will get you a small decent place in Manhattan. But if you eat those $10 sandwiches five times a day or always use a cab to move around - that could be a problem.
