Analyst Budget

Hey everyone,

I couldn't find a good up to date thread on this so I made my own. I'll be starting my job in NYC this summer and am trying to plan ahead by creating a good budget. I just signed a lease yesterday with a few buddies ($1700/month) and am looking to fill in the rest of my budget.

Does anybody have any guidelines/current budgets/spreadsheets that they use? I'm thinking things in terms of going out/laundry/food etc.

I know it's different for everybody, but even a rough estimate would be great.

Thanks in advance!
