<prompt> Human: I thought I could manage this on my own, but I admit I need some help.I moved to the West Coast, putting behind a 57,000 salary for a 78,000 salary. After my bonus, that becomes about 83,000. I work as a software developer and 78k is kind of low for where I live Seattle. But the opportunity was there and I wanted to take it, even though the cost of living ate up my raise. Total income tax for me is 25. Im 23 btw.Anyway, my main expenses are:- Rent: 2,200mo. Living in Seattle is expensive and I didnt have a lot of time to pick a place. Lowest rent in my area is probably 1,875 if Im extremely lucky.- Parking: 250mo. I dont use my car much. I actually put it up for sale, but nobody is biting.- Car Payment: 366mo- Insurance: 80mo I actually just switched insurance from 180mo to this new policy.- Debt: 300mo on a 0 APR account to pay off my move.- Bills: 100mo. Im reimbursed for internet, so this is quite low.- Student Loans: 275mo. So here I am, 3,571 of the 4400-something I make in a month after tax and 401k being plucked away from my hands. I put about 10 into my 401k. That doesnt even account for groceries, entertainment, etc. I dont eat out but I do frequent the bars on the weekend with my girlfriend. The only options I see are:- Seek a raise or new job? I should be making closer to 100k.- Seek a new apartment? Im tied down to a lease and could only switch to something within my building.- Sell my car? Im trying. Its a Ford Mustang 2011 but somehow Im getting few offers.- Second job? Im working on a side project which will hopefully be a return on investment.- Bail on it all and move back ASAP? I mean.. its an option. Where I came from I paid 875 a month on rent and everything else in my life was less expensive.Where do I go from here?EDIT:Thanks for all the advice guy! I didnt expect such a great response. Ill try to post an update in a month or two. My current plan is 1. Lower the price of my car drastically until it sells. Hanging on and trying to sell it at fair value in Seattle isnt going to happen.2. Move within the building to a studio, saving 300400 a month.3. Cut down on going out and restaurants, movies, etc, until I see my debt start to go away -- especially my debt from the move.Assistant: Rent: 2,200mo is alot if youre living by yourself you can probably downgrade to a studio and average out 1.5-1.8 a month. That sounds crazy even in seattle.Parking Car: Carmax or take car to dealership and just take the hit get rid of it.Insurance: NOCARNOINSURANCEStudent Loans: 275mo. use extras to pay more of this off if you want.Human: I just asked if they have any studios in the building that I could move into. Ill see what they have to say!Assistant: Either that or look into other places,are you living in a luxury apt?Human: Not really. A thriving tech industry is pushing rent prices higher and higher. I live in the city with a decent view, but I chose that so I could walk to work and not have to use my car.  <response>: Ah yes, the downfalls of living flat center of a busy area. The studio thing will probably best for you.
