I make ~60 K per year as a resident doctor. After taxes it’s about 3.5 K per month and I pay about $1k /mo for rent. My car is paid off, not that I need it cause I can walk to the hospital from my apt. I get health and dental through my job. I have 200/mo going automatically into my retirement investment account with employer match. I spend probably $300-400 per month on food because I like to splurge on good ingredients to cook with.

Admittedly I don’t spend a lot of money on basically anything else as I don’t have time outside of work to spend the money so I’ve been able to put a few thousand in my savings account.

I definitely don’t live like a king but I don’t feel like I have problems affording the essentials and the occasional splurge purchase.

Definitely doable. But I couldn’t raise a family on this salary.
