Damn Dude. You cost double what I do in the same city. I live in a nice-sized apt in Manhattan, eat well, and go out. - Get a roommate and cut out nearly half the rent and half the utilities (two bedrooms aren't much more in a walk up). - You're clearly eating almost all your meals out. You could probably cut this by 2/3 if you went to a Trader Joes and ate 3/4 of your meals at home or made lunch. - Cut out the maid. Buy a nice vacuum and some cleaning supplies. New Total: $1,950. Just saved you $19k next year. Pro-tip: Take dates to Thai restaurants in Manhattan. Many have great ambience and you'll spend ~$30 with a drink each. Super Pro-tip: The girls you want to date in the long run will be happy to pay their share. :-)
