$2k/mo for entertainment and food seems awfully high, and I live in Manhattan.

Pull 1k from food/ent/travel and dump it in your savings.

Why does no one ever budget for clothes? Unless you have a complete wardrobe, you are going to have to build up some outfits.
I would try for 3000 on loans and 2500 on saving. After you get a little best egg, I would dump more into loans unless you have some compelling reason not to.
