SA Living/Gym Advice

I wanna continue the momentum of making gains this summer. Regardless of whether its likely I will have time to work out, what's the move? Thinking about Equinox partially so I can have access to a non-shitty shower situation.

Also, where's the best place in Manhattan to live as an intern (optimizing price/closeness to work/going out with other interns)? No further north than Hell's Kitchen pz.

On intern money? ROFL  You willing to do bunkbeds and Blink?

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.
 

May be I'm dumb? 

Pay calculated off of base of 100k implies salary ~26k including 2.5k signing bonus for 10 weeks of work. After tax, that's at least 22k because of my income bracket. This is probably stupidly high spending, but the budget could be:

10k rent

300/mo Equinox 

6k on food/misc/ubers

=18k max

It is also likely that mommy and daddy subsidize my lifestyle and my target school tuition. :)
