Hello, looking for some guidance. I make 70k a year, I pay $1300 in rent, and I contribute 7% to my 401k
Most months, I am able to add $1k to my emergency fund, $400 in a travel fund, and $200 has leisure money. Is this okay? I find myself very nervous about my expenses even though it may not be terrible. What should I do?
If it helps, I grew up taking care of myself (state ward) and recently paid off 60k in student loans. I have no one to count on so I need to make sure I don’t fail with this.
