Soon to be 26 year-old, moved to NYC from the Bay Area about 7 months ago to try something new. I work in marketing for a bank, and am moonlighting in the service industry to save extra money. Graduated at 23 with $11.5K in student loan debt and had a $6K medical procedure recently, but am still nearing $100K in net worth!
For now I enjoy my job and don't have any anticipated retirement date, so I have more of a vague goal of complete FI by 40. I really enjoy travel so hope to get a job that allows for extensive international living in the next 5-7 years, as I would like to reside in many different locations (and perhaps return to NYC eventually, it's awesome ). I'm also considering likely a very un-ERE type thing in getting an expensive MBA degree.
For those of you also in NYC, I'm attempting to organize a meetup in March. See this thread:
