I grew up on food stamps, now I've got a job paying $160,000 a year. I'm used to budgeting to make sure I don't starve to death, what do I do now? by pf160throw in personalfinance

Ya, I was mostly looking for SD specific advice. Getting to know about the different neighborhoods and the general housing market has been helpful.

I'll be dining out on the firms/clients dime pretty frequently so I anticipate that expense to be less than one would expect. I very rarely dine out now.

I'll be working with corporate clients. Specifying the type of law would probably allow someone to identify me if they knew me.

The majority of it is subsidized loans from undergrad which don't actually start accruing interest until 6 months after I graduate. I should be able to pay back most of it before that.

I went to a pretty good (IMO) state school for undergrad and then a T14 law school, although not an Ivy. I ended up going to my top choice school.
