Is this NYC?

Your tax assumptions seem low.  You're making $100k/yr (I'm assuming this is base, but will ignore bonus for now--Generally ignoring bonus is a good assumption) and your after tax is assuming an aggregate ~28% tax rate.  Remember, you have FIT, NYS, NYC, SS and Medicare.  SS & Medicare are 7.65% alone.  NYC/NYS are close enough as doesn't matter to 10% combined.  FIT (Fed. Income Tax) is significantly progressive, but you're already at 17.5%,and you'll probably be paying another 20-30% for that.

Your budget seems OK, but this will eat into that buffer you built.

The only difference between Asset Management and Investment Research is assets. I generally see somebody I know on TV on Bloomberg/CNBC etc. once or twice a week. This sounds cool, until I remind myself that I see somebody I know on ESPN five days a week.
 

Eaque iusto quae molestiae cumque rerum. Et quas et impedit cumque similique quia id.

Velit blanditiis enim odit nisi illo iure. Sint quam nulla nostrum sit ad et et maxime. Totam ut aut aliquam aliquam harum libero. Tenetur quos aut sed sint.

Illo qui magnam aut fugit. Consequuntur ut veritatis saepe animi. Repudiandae sequi libero facere id dolore sapiente velit.
