Living On $50K A Year In Brooklyn _ Millennial Money
Elena Haskins earns $50,000 a year as a graphic designer in Brooklyn, New York. The 23-year-old has $11,000 in student debt, but her salary is enough for her to live 'comfortably' in New York City. She also has a freelance photography side hustle and recently launched a website that serves as a guide for recent college grads.
This is the latest installment of Millennial Money, which profiles people across the U.S. and details how they earn and spend their money.
Eleana Haskins moved to New York City after graduating from college in the spring of 2018. She may be a recent college graduate, but she's not a novice when it comes to work. “I’ve always had part-time jobs,” she tells CNBC Make It. “I think it’s important to have a side income, even if you have support from your family. You want to have your own money.”
In addition to her full-time job as an associate designer at PEI, a finance media and conference company, Haskins has several side hustles including a freelance photography gig and a website for recent college grads. While her side hustles don't boost her income significantly, she appreciates the extra income.
Haskins, who started her full-time job in September 2018, is happy with her $50,000 starting salary, but her goal is to make $100,000 a year by age 30.
