youre gonna get only 5.5 of that. i dont think you're spending that on anything other than rent and security deposit.

 

Would leave aside all 10k of it. Assuming you’re spending 2.5k a month on rent, 7.5k = first month + security deposit + brokers fee (in case you go with a broker). Then setting up your room will probably spend 1-1.5k (WFH set up is expensive driver). New clothes, etc. whatever’s left / if you end up not doing a broker, save that

 

Yall are hilarious

Bank/invest it in the market, you're not significantly improving your life with just 10k.
