How much did you wyle out/splurge once you signed your offer?

Really cringe post, but just trying to gauge if I am going too crazy lol.

Just signed my FT IB offer. Got 110k base + 15k signing, all in comp with year end bonus probably around 150-180k

How much can I spend on dumb shit right now? What did you do? I don't have any student loans or debt. I will be paying probably 1.9k-2.5k on an NYC apartment + food + misc + going out + utilities will be my only expenses next year.  How much should I target to save a week/month?/year?


Thank you
