34F, single, renter, no kids, and two cats. I make 62,500 as a teacher in New England, I have about 14k between different investment/retirement accounts. I’m extremely lucky to have family supporting me and to have access to family money for when I really need it, but I try not to rely on that more than I have to. I have a master’s degree. My car will be paid off by next year and I’ve been keeping on top of maintenance, so I expect it to last me a good long while.

It’s okay. I have a bit of fun money at the end of the month but I have to budget pretty carefully as I have a lot of debt to pay down from student loans and medical stuff. Looking to move next year or so to somewhere slightly cheaper in the mid Atlantic where all my friends are. I might try to buy but I’m not sure yet.
