Stop throwing your money around on silly things.

Word. I do most of that on less than half that here.

I'm going to school for architecture. After all that, I want to go work at a big firm for a while to get some experience and meet some people. Then, I want to steal away all the talent to start my own firm.

I don't want to be a rock star.

I'd rather be an astronaut.

I agree with everyone about 60k a year being a great income. If you can't live comfortably on 60k a year something is wrong. Most people can live comfortably on 40k a year. You're making 20k more than them.

Spoken like a 21 year old, and presumably, not living in Los Angeles. I glanced through this thread, and found myself shaking my head more than a few times. Good luck to all, but I believe that some of you are in for more than a couple of surprises, and not necessarily the good kind.

Basically up in medina, people are all rich, but broke at the same time. Because they all buy houses they simply can't afford.

Low interest rates of the last several years may have contributed to that, but don't forget the enormous equity gains that may have been achieved in this crazy market, gains that will likely not be completely diminished by a market adjustment. Also, there's a whole lot more to those purchases than an unreasonable desire for status -- kids, space, schools, savings, commute, retirement, crime, and all the other things that are important to living. Those factors and others influence many, many decisions that range far wider than finding a decent house. Not the kind of stuff I had given a moment's thought to when I was young and single.

60k is pretty damn good for someone young like us, but once you get older its not gonna cut it. Thats really what it comes down to. How much is enough money? A little bit more. Funny how money is.

As for me, I plan to work hard, move back to LA, work on some sort of professional designation, etc. etc. I will hopefully get this great job around here which will be perfect for me at this point in my life. I also want to write a book at some point on something, I havent quite decided yet (though I have ideas).
