I'm 23 and moving from a 60k job to 100k with potential to move to 120k after one year. I try to live frugally and save everything I can.
After this change, my girlfriend is pressuring me to spend more on myself, vacations, better housing, dining out ect. I'm worried about lifestyle creep as I see this as a real opportunity to invest early and set myself up for success.
What's a realistic savings goal that I can say 'at the end of the year, I need to put at least X away'? On top of that, I'm wondering if buying a home/ paying off her student loans/ investing makes the most sense. I just don't want to screw up this opportunity.
EDIT- I should have clarified I would only pay off my girlfriends student loans if we got married and that became my debt as well
