Eileen Tyrrell, 26, earns around $53,000 living in New York City — and at this stage in her life, Tyrrell says she’s content with the tradeoffs she’s making.

“Where I’m at right now is so rewarding and so meaningful,” she says. “I have a job that I love, I have a life that I love and the financial stability is not quite there. But for now, it’s a tradeoff that I’m comfortable with.”
