Right now I do 6% 401k just for the company match. I do 100 dollars a paycheck to savings account.

i have 52k in student loans.

Yeah that makes sense. I just don't like making decisions with money without knowing exact numbers. Google utilities give a range all over the place.

they gave us 3 weeks to return to the office. yeah I was almost 2 hours from the office. The 1391 is the place I moved to that's close to my office.

>My rule of thumb I heard way back in the dark ages was no more than 1/4 of gross salary for rent. 1/4 of 6.4k = 1.6k.

makes sense, but why gross and not net?
