I take home approx. 350 weekly direct deposit. I have health, vision, dental and 401k through my company. The 'take home; is after deductions.
Also, my job has a bonus structure on top of salary, which from what I can see from other co-workers, runs generally anywhere from $500-1500 paid once monthly. I will not count this toward this just because I have no experience with their bonus structure yet.
I have a roommate and bills are easily manageable.
My bills (monthly):
Rent $300
Utilities etc ~$120
Car insurance $60
Simply put, my main priorities are around $500/mo with roughly $900 left over. Lets subtract $150/mo for gas/oil/whatever etc lets make it $750.
I would like to purchase a car in the 10-13k range within a couple years, so saving for that would be one priority. How much should I put away monthly?
I'm 22 years old, and I think starting something small on top of the company 401k would be a good idea too, maybe something like $50-75/mo I could contribute to for retirement. I make maximum contributions towards my 401k. %3 matched by employer.
Any other suggestions? I have zero student loans and zero credit card debt. I've never made this kind of money before and now that I'm living on my own far far away from my parents, I really don't know what to do.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions as to what to do with the remaining funds I have after handling responsibilities.
