100k is great for a first job and being single. Get roommates and save a ton of money as you move up in a career.

$400 per month. That seems to cover most things. They still have a credit card for some incidentals, which is used pretty sparingly. Eating out with friends seems to be the biggest expense. They have a meal plan, but food anywhere is expensive.
