[quote=Anonymous]Gen-Xer here,and that list didn't seem too extravagant to me - maybe going out a bit more than I did when I was single, but not too much. Once I started working post grad school, I lived pretty similarly up until I got married in my late 30s. (salary range between $55k-90k during that period of time). I did have a car, but didn't have student loans. Managed to always put away least 5% for retirement (to get match), usually more, plus some other savings. I didn't get a good gym membership (with a pool!) or the iphone until my later years, though my iphone really wasn't all that more expensive than the land line had been. I kept my landline and felt that was more of an extravagance than my cell phone was, since the cell phone is now pretty much a necessity for my job. But as others have said, having a roomate(s) is key to making this work - that $600 -1000/month saved in rent really made the budget balance for everything else.[/quote]
