I'm genuinely curious as to how monthly spending tracks amongst attendings in this forum.
Helpful info to give a sense might include:
Years out from residency/fellowship?
Any kids?
$$ spent on food/discretionary
$$ spent on housing:
$$ spent on car payments:
$$ spent on student loans
$$ saved/invested per month:
etc etc etc
For me I'm 3.5 years out from residency, we have two kids, average total monthly spend at $7K and the rest goes towards investments. And income taxes of course.
Breakdown is roughly 3K to food/groceries/Amazon orders, $1.5K to property taxes, 1.5K to daycare, about 1K to everything else (insurance, utilities, gas etc). No debt; house/cars/student loans are all paid off.
When more travel 'reopens' might tack on 1K a month for vacationing.
