26yo, 110k, 1.9K, it could be cheaper but since I don't go out much, the money saved for not going out offsets the expenses for a nice apartment.

26yo, 225K, 2.3K rent.
When I started my career at 22yo, was making around 80K and paying 1.5K rent. Target 1/3 net (take home) for rent. Napkin math I wouldn’t recommend paying more than 2K in rent until you surpass at least 100K.

Not MBB and I’m in industry now - old title. The secret is I double majored in 2 STEM degrees at an Ivy League. I also always keep my resume up to date and interview opportunistically, and I make some money on the side doing non-competitive contract work.

If you had 2 mortgages at the exact same interest rate (1 is a 15 year and the other is a 30 year), does it make sense to put extra payments (say 400 per month) towards one or the other? Looking at it purely from a $ perspective in the long term (not psychological where You prepay the lower balance quicker to ultimately have only one loan).

15 year loan - 125k balance (renting this property out)
30 year loan - 400k balance (looking to buy this property soon)
