Q: At a flat $60k, online tax bracket estimators for federal and Oregon taxes combined (with no deductions at all, which is unlikely) result in a little over $17k in taxes, leaving you with a net of $43k.

$43k/12 months = a little over $3,500/mo.

Your 50/30/20 breakdown results in $1,790 for necessities.

$1,075-ish can go towards "financial obligations."

$716 can go towards "personal choices," meaning your "personal choices" budget is about $24/day.

Inquiring minds would *love* to know!
