[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hey guys! I am a single, late 20s woman living in the Tysons/McLean Area. I recent just switched companys. While I love the environment, I took a slight paycut ($105k to 95ish K)

Monthly budget
Take Home- after taxes, healthcare, etc- about 4800
Rent- 1716  [b]Not bad[/b]
Tuition (grad school part time)- $580/month
Cell phone- 140 (w/AT&T)  [b]WTF is wrong with you, get Project Fi and you'll pay like half that[/b]
Utilities + Internet- 100
Gas- 120  [b]Serious? This is really big. What kind of rental are you in? SFH?[/b]
Groceries- 200  [b]Impressive, but makes me think there is a missing line item for eating out.[/b]
Grooming- 110 (brows, nails, feet)  [b]Dumb. Stop this.[/b]

Debt
No car and credit card debt  [b]YES congrats![/b]
loans- about $35000k undergrad, no grad debt  [b]Not bad for DC, congrats![/b]

Any suggestions on where to cut. My lease is up in April...not certain on renewing lease, though its close to work.
My parents live in the area as an option.

Comments above in bold. You still have 1834 in income that is not accounted for. Your budget isn't accurate, because if it was you'd have a 38% surplus every month. You need to provide more info.[/quote]

She saves $1000 per month.

A 20 something year old childless female who can save $1,000 per month does not need to cut out grooming.[/quote]
