Date: January 18th, 2020 9:16 PM Author: big-titted vigorous sanctuary a few thousand on clothes will help you look good for a couple years. but if you're making "serious money," 3k on a suit, a few pairs of shoes, and some decent shirts and pairs of pants isn't going to break you.
also eating out and drinking with friends is fun, but that also shouldn't set you back that much relatively if you now have "serious money" to play with. |

If you are making $X more a month than before after tax, put exactly $X (plus whatever amount you were putting there before) into your Schwab or whatever account every month as soon as your pay check hits your account. Then keep living like you were before.
