Thanks! Yeah, we are fortunate and have worked hard. We’re both interested in FIRE, so saving a high percentage of our income is important to us

We live in LA. As I mentioned in another comment, my partner and I split the rent and utilities.

I work as an attorney in biglaw. I also know many people who make as much or more than me in the legal, medical, tech, or business fields

Everything here is the average of the past 12 months, so I spent about 12k on travel in the past 12 months (which really isn’t bad). My partner and I both love to travel. We usually take 2 1-2 week international trips a year and several shorter (read: cheaper) trips, like camping, visiting a national park, etc. Covid didn’t slow our travels down - we just adjusted where we went based on restrictions and flight availability, and remote work made it easier to get away, in some ways.

Hmm, what a strange comment. Congrats on spending more money, I guess? I couldn’t imagine spending $5600/mo just on transportation, but cars are not my thing. And I thought my food expense was high, but yours is making me feel better

How are you saving and investing nothing on 30k a month? Your expenses account for over 95% of your take-home income.

Yikes…

That’s California for you… I shouldn’t complain though. I am very blessed.

You are correct. “Gym” includes classes at my MMA gym and personal training 1x a week.

My partner and I split rent for a 2br/2ba in a nice, newish building with lots of amenities and an Amazon Hub locker in the mailroom (we got a great deal during the pandemic and they’ve raised the rent manageable amounts twice since then). So the 1625 is my portion of rent plus utilities.
