Saving 7k/month as a 22 year old Software Engineer

Here's how I save 7k/month as an entry software engineer. The trick is that after living expenses and taxes, I come back home with over half of my gross pay every single month. Can we get to 10k? Eye. Watch to the end to see how I do it and follow for more content. If you want to see more financial advice. Within my first year of corporate, I was able to build a four year liquid emergency fund. So I could live exactly like this with the same expenses and be fine. Seattle = no state taxes. High pay band. Perfect for early career. If you do get an early career tech job, you have to come to Seattle because there's no state tax here. Like, and if you somehow get low rent, then it's over, bro. Like you're gonna get money. But like, yeah, no, Seattle, IYKKYK. Seattle = no state taxes. High pay band. Perfect for early career. The only things that you can never order Uber Eats or DoorDash ever again. If you're starting out, growing really fast. This is the perfect place to do that. And another thing, you don't need a car really. Most of the time it's very walkable. If you use the light rail or like a scooter or something, you'll get there in a reasonable time. Sometimes even faster than a car. There's sacrifices to be made, but like, I'm still living a pretty good life. I'll do random unplanned events with my friends all the time. Like, you try to do this dance class, I'm there. You try to do this skiing, I'm there. You try to eat out every day. Yes, I'm there. It'll be expensive, but you get it. So I'm happy with the optimizations and progress I'm making, but I'm not done improving. Like say I promote even just once. Then that's easily five figures I'm netting every single month. This is assuming no gain on any of my retirement accounts or brokerage accounts. Just straight money every single month from a paycheck. But yeah, is this the end goal? No. Like, I don't want to have to work when I'm 40 or 60. Bro. Like 40 is pushing it. I would just do it at that point for the love of the game. There's ways to enjoy your life while you're still on the come up. So I'm really grateful for my Seattle community and all my mentors for making this an enjoyable process.
