Waterloo / Alero,

My 2 cents for what they are worth...

Have "big" fun for a couple years (2-3 not too many more though).

NYC has a world of opportunities and experiences (but it is expensive!). Take advantage of these while you are young.

I agree with the 1/3 (maybe up to 2/5) housing expense ratio. Always take the "free" 401k money and even sock away a couple more percentage points if possible, but otherwise try to do as many of the things you have dreamed about while you have this opportunity and a few dollars.

If you do choose NYC, north NJ has some locations (Hoboken is a young <30 party town) that works well for NYC jobs and will save you a few pennies on living and beer.

Good Luck!!
