<prompt> Human: Im 18, fresh HS grad preparing for full-time work soon. I decided to forego college for now and attend Dev Bootcamp to prepare for a full-time webdev job with a local NYC company. I live with my mother and wont consider moving out until at least a few months to a year of working. The salary is 75k, competitive for a junior web developer in NYC, but on the lower end not that I mind at all!. Though I do have that opportunity lined up, Im still able to explore others. I have zero credit and a college checking account. It goes without saying this is my first time dealing with paychecks and finances of this magnitude and Im feeling a bit intimidated. Ive been told to invest the pre-tax max into a 401k and to save for emergencies. Im just looking for general advice on managing my money well and things to look out for. Though I plan to stay in NYC, Ive been exploring the idea of potentially taking an opportunity in SF and relocating. Id like to know the financial implications of doing so, mostly out of curiosity.Any advice is appreciated!  <response>: If your employer doesnt do a 401k, youll want to invest in an IRA.Your best bet is to live at home and save like crazy and pursue some community college classes to keep working on getting a BA. Though your field might care more about skills than degrees, its good to put a degree on your resume.
