Thanks all for the advice and encouragement! Hopefully I can find someone like-minded, or have the good sense to know what I should (and shouldn't) compromise on :)
@K-ice - Haha as far as details go: Yes,I have a job; Not living with parents, and living and working overseas; No student loans since I was thankfully on scholarship; Currently looking at a min 50% savings rate, perhaps higher (if my estimates are accurate). Currently living the same lifestyle I had in uni (splitting rent with a few college friends, too), but you're right - even on a relatively meagre starting pay, the temptation to treat myself to a better lifestyle is creeping in. Will have to keep that in check.
@Bracken_Joy - Hmm, fair point. I guess getting good habits early on never hurts :) And thanks for the career tip! The "slovenly" part isn't much of an issue so far career-wise (I don't clean my room as often as I should, but I iron, clean, and dress myself reasonably well), but getting more organised early on is definitely something I should work on now, especially if I'm serious about finding a partner.
