[quote=Anonymous]$80,000 is not a great amount to live and save with in NYC. It works out to around $50,000 net. Housing & Utilities are around $24,000 a year. Conservative Spending (Food, Medical, Cell Phone, Transportation) $12,000. That leaves $14,000 a year for savings if no emergency needs come up...but they always come up! If she opens a Roth IRA , she can put up to $5000 in there a year. That leaves $9,000 a year to save. You need at least an 8 month expense emergency fund, so that would need to be $24,000. So she will have to save 2.5 years to get a base savings and retirement account set up. A 30 something year old these days who lives with in their means, and is responsible enough to save is great! Either get a big raise or work those extra hours! Or stop working so hard, get a social life, start dating, find a husband and he can contribute! [/quote]
