I'm a young professional in engineering and I'll be starting my first real job this summer. I've been offered a position with a starting pay of $68k and I'll be living in Houston, TX. I have no debt on graduation, but my savings will be depleted by the time I start work. I'll essentially be starting from scratch but I do have about $45k of investments from various family gifts over the last decade.
I put together a spreadsheet of my basic monthly costs I expect to encounter and I feel like I'm forgetting something or have the wrong values somewhere. Just looking for some feedback or refinements on numbers as I don't have much experience.
I should note that the hobbies budget is so high because I never had the time to pursue any hobbies throughout college and there are some things I'd like to get into but have some higher barriers to entry.
