Future Expenses

• The total of my future expenses each year are $150,000.  I know this is logical because my primary sources for information are from my parents.
• According to sokanu.com I can likely count on making $100,000 each year in my future job as a molecular biologist.  My education/training to get that job will cost $240,000 total for all years of training.
• I want to save $12,000 for my rainy day fund each year, and $5,000 for retirement each year.  If I save $5,000 for retirement each year, by the time I am 65 years old I will have $17,000 plus interest.
• Comparing my future income and expenses makes me think i need to work really hard to get this Kind of job and be good at it so I can make above average salary.
