Maxing out retirement accounts and saving the rest, because liquidity and refinancing. Also putting $2,500 towards paying down interest on student loans.

good point. guess I'll be working out in central park.

I'm also curious as to whether anyone else has familial obligations? like putting some money aside to help out your parents?

Yeah, I'll definitely be helping my parents out as much as I can. I also have to budget for an engagement ring...

I bought a puppy and had a super-fun 3L. I recommend you do the same.

For reals! It was awesome. Trained her up nice and good and she is perfect. Yes, I now spend a fortune on dogwalkers/day care/law students to hang out with her, but...she's the best thing about coming home from a long day in biglaw.

Worried the sex of a puppy obtained during 3L year would out them. Cause no 3Ls get female puppies nationwide.

Did this pre-law school. I now feel silly that my SO's ring is less than two week's SA pay. She's pretty happy though. #blessed

According to this, a typical 1st year associate should be spending 49k on the ring. Even the "lost cost" option is 33k... That is the craziest and most unrealistic thing I have ever heard.
