Alright guys so I graduated May 2013 about a year ago. Been living at home, working and saving up money. I have a decent paying job 60k/yr. Bring home almost exactly 3400 a month. This doesnt sound too bad but I have a rack of student debt to pay. 1200 a month strictly on student loans. Plus I have cell phone, car payments, and car insurance bills. Im looking to move into the DC area and looking at the budget I made, I'll probably have around 400 to myself for going out and all the other unnessasary things if Im living as frugal as possible.
My question is do you need to save money? There are pros to living at home but being on your own is 100% better to me. Im single and dont have to spend any money on a girl but even so id be on a very tight budget. These student loans killin me man they aren't a joke. Looking for people with insight on similar experiences.
Im looking at 1200 a month total on rent and this would include utilities and all that jazz
Move out.. You're making 60k a year..
not really 60k cause of his student loans. common misconception in salaries in todays youth
"i make 50k i can move out"
You still make that much though. It's just a debt to pay. Out here in the Bay Area, 60K a year will barely get you by with a family, single and no loans, you can do it.
OP what did you major in if you don't mind me asking.
