$30k monthly income and $1,625 in rent and utilities? What is happening here?

I thought that was unusual, too. Many people I know who make much, much less spend about that much and even more on rent per month.

My partner and I split rent for a 2br/2ba in a nice, newish building with lots of amenities and an Amazon Hub locker in the mailroom (we got a great deal during the pandemic and they’ve raised the rent manageable amounts twice since then). So the 1625 is my portion of rent plus utilities.

So $360K/year but no health insurance?

Hmm, what a strange comment. Congrats on spending more money, I guess? I couldn’t imagine spending $5600/mo just on transportation, but cars are not my thing. And I thought my food expense was high, but yours is making me feel better

How are you saving and investing nothing on 30k a month? Your expenses account for over 95% of your take-home income.

Well that guy is either full of shit or will have nothing if the income dries up.
