      This is so weird to me, me and my wife's combined income doesn't break 6 figures and we apparently live rather more comfortably than you, entirely based on location.

      I suspect that there are two things (as there are w my own situation vs Eigen): 1) cost of living for some things (e.g. housing ) is much much lower 2) definition of normal / reasonable is different

      quick breakdown rent is 2400/mo student loans 650/mo utilities etc maybe 200/mo after savings taxes etc my monthly takehome is ~6.25k, so end up with maybe 3k/mo to spend on other stuff after fixed costs i have some slack, but I can't spend willy-nilly

      Penny has substantial vet bills, I try to see my family a few times per year, I have other major expenditures on the horizon I can't talk about here, and even if I spent none of that (inc daily meals) it would still be five years to save for a house down payment :/

      The interesting question no one ever asks is where does all this money end? Bcs your quality upper class all-organic 3x price bakery down the street doesn't pay 3x wages or triple the avg for flour vs the bakery asking for 1x money in Smalltown, Wyoming.

      Neither did your landlord pay 3x the cost for erecting the rooms you are living in, back then in 196x... BTW 3k unallocated money for a single young person (I suppose) feels only mediocre safe in the US, in socialistic Europe you are really rich (<98% percentile) with this.

      $3k/mo unallocated is far better than "mediocre safe". European welfare state provides mediocre medicine, while US job related health insurance usually provides much better.

      probably also worth noting my emergency fund at this point is substantially a fairly vast set of untapped credit (card) lines things would be tight if I suddenly lost my job because of fixed costs; and I really Really don't want to tap retirement funds source of some anxiety

      I mean, I think you can probably save more? I live in NoVA (one of the most expensive places in the country) and have a bit less after fixed costs but I'm still socking away a lot of cash each month in addition to retirement

      to defend Eigen, he didn't say he couldn't save more ; he just talked about what his choices are (feeling somewhat defensive for him bc no one likes "YOU COULD DIET HARDER" / "YOU COULD..." )

          I'm in two distinct threads right now where things started out mellow and descriptive but someone is trying to make it prescriptive based on their own moral code without realizing that "but MY preferences!!!" isn't a slam dunk checkmate maneuver

          3K/month allocated would be amazing, and I have far lower house payment than that, but on just under 90K combined I feel pretty comfortably OK where I'm at.
