Thank you all. Just a bit anxious to see my monthly fixed expense going from $3k to $4k
Don't consider payment towards mortgage as fixed expense (although I know what you mean)

You’re fine. Consider your mortgage as savings/investment.

*the principal portion
I’m in the same situation after having bought a house and leasing a car. I had to make some big purchases for the house and a new baby as well. So I am left with barely any savings from my paycheck. I think my spending should slow down for a while and I should be able to save a bit more going forward.
You’re fine. Your 30k in savings will grow too ( think if ROI is 10%, = extra $250/mo). Fingers crossed, there will also be salary raises and bonuses in the next year too. This is short term.

This is fine. Look to increase savings and investment as your salary hopefully increase and avoid lifestyle creep.
Your fine for now
Are you using a tool like Mint or Personal Capital to keep track of your spending, cash flow and net worth? If not, now is a great time to start. That 500/mo can easily get killed by takeout, buying gifts, taking a vacation or having a sudden expense, so you will need to be extra vigilant.
I’m in the same situation! I’ve been trying to decide whether to leave for a higher salary job...
