As of today: I have three months of income in my emergency fund, My student loans are just under 4,500, and I am projected to pay them off by June of next year, My net worth is the largest I have ever had on a day before payday.Not bad for still being a graduate student and living in one of the most expensive cities in the country. My next big hurtle is cutting down on my eating out budget. Unfortunately for my budget, my boss loves to go out to lunch with me.
