Sadly, this May, I spent more than my mid-year bonus because of all the trips and toys I've bought. Will make up for it during the remainder of the year.
Wait til you get yourself a wifey bro. But marry an accountant to help you with the budgeting. I have an office mate (lady accountant) who records all expenses on a notebook and micromanages the budget for the husband who is a soldier. I can tell that they were able to live a decent life with their own house and lot and a car.
