Hi /r/frugal, I’m about to finish my degree and I’m ready to join the workforce. I want to know how I can prepare to save large sums of money in my first couple years out of school.

I have $67K annual income for the job arranged, $17K in savings and no debt. However, I will be living downtown in a major city and need to know how I can maximize my savings, through using strategies to reduce my spending.

Edit: forgot to add I will be working very long hours and proximity to my workplace is ideal. However, that involves being directly in the financial core of the city.
