New Boss

So I just graduated and was hired for a sales job where my territory is Manhattan.

The Salary is 42k base+12k expected quarterly incentive bonus.

My boss is insisting that I live in my territory (Manhattan). Can I get a one bedroom anywhere in Manhattan that is not riddled with bullets for what I make? I have no debt or anything so I can spend a huge chunk of my pay on rent but I still do not know.

If not how should I talk to my new boss so I can live in queens or something? He is evaluating me and I do not want to get off to a bad start…

Thanks!
