Same here, keeps me driven. Hell, I'll be happy to even make 35k a year after college. You can live pretty comfortable in the bay making thatmuch ($850/1br/rent+$150/bills=$1000x12=$12,000). That's $27,000 for other expenses and everything else.

Groceries are $75 a month at most, student loans are aroung adjustable, but I'm expecting to pay around 4,000 a year. That's around $330+/month whichis not to bad. I still think I can manage.

28,000(after taxes)-12,000/rent+bills=16,000, yeah mybad, but it's still more than enough to live comfortable even if I include the studentloans and transportation ($70/month for bus/train fastpass).

$75 a month for groceries?!? thats 3 ramen noodles a day. i suppose you can pull it off. no seriously thats only around $3-4 a day. i know homeless bums thatspend more than that on food.
