But the next question is, how much can I save if I earn $50k per year. Well, it depends on where you live. Cost of living is a major factor in U.S. For example, 1 Bed Room Apartment rent in New York will be around $1500 per month, whereas same size apartment in Texas, Florida will be less than $600. But, in general, Salary will be more in New york and other metro areas where Cost of living is high.
