On $150k or whatever it is (sans loans) that brings you to ~$110k given the way bonuses are taxed. At this point with NY real estate, you can get a nice studio in a nice building for $24k/yr now we are at $86k. Even if you are spending $2k/mo on CC and whatever else you should still be able to save $60k+

I think that is a pretty realistic scenario in which you are living pretty well. Roommates in a nice building can get rent below $2k. 

 

Thanks, appreciate the breakdown. Not used to NYC/city prices and had the virtual summer so don't really understand the extent of NYC cost of living yet. I remember many people say spend the base, save the bonus which seemed pretty low to me given that my after tax was about 5k a month from the base so I could see being able to save some of that, but wasn't sure if I was underestimating NY costs.

Above answers are for the US, very different. My friends in LDN saved £30-50k in 2-3yrs.
