Yeah, my spelling sucks. Whatever.
Surprisingly, I actually spend more on food then rent. I've really been trying to bulk up and put on weight for various activities I want to do.
Followup question (I should have asked initially) but what of savings do people split between stocks and mutual funds? After 401k/ESPP/IRA, I was 100% invested in stocks (no bonds, CD's, etc) but I've been too preoccupied with other things in life since I finished school that I haven't had a lot of time, and I'm starting to hand over my investments to a financial advisor... I'm trying to also figure out what a good split is between me managing my own stocks, and a financial advisor picking my mutual funds. I'm thinking 50/50 to start... but I dunno what a good way of figuring this out is.
