@OP 60% seems a bit low if none is going to healthcare. But you might see it all back in your tax return.

I'm keeping 60% in DC and I can't tell if that's low for a young college grad

Depends on so many factors. Debt, lifestyle, family, standard of living in your city, etc. Really tough to get perspective on something like this when it varies so much for each individual

Also in DC. Couple years out of college. Keeping ~70%

60%

After all bills, taxes, fun money, etc. I usually put away 35-38%.

The rest

For me I'm still on my parent's HC so my deductions are 401k and stock plan. DC taxes. So taking a step back, im wondering if keeping only 60% post deductions is low enough to warrant a further investigation. Maybe not?

72% if gross

They are in the UK

Need some advice on renting here in ATX.

Back in May 2021, I rented a property that had sustained damage during the big snow storm. This wasn't disclosed at lease signing. The home leaked every time it rained, mold was found in the home & the LL failed to make repairs that resulted in me falling down a flight of stairs. I moved out& rented an apt for 2 mos before signing a lease on the house I live in now. This house has a serious big problem& I've found mold here too. Continued below
