First off: Though 2k a week is more than what I make, it's not some ungodly sum, well, maybe to a 20 yr old it is.

The geek answer:
28% is going straight to federal taxes ($560).
6% is going to state taxes ($120)

so you're at $1320 a week, or 5280 a month.

Rent ($800) Electric ($150) Water/Sewer ($75) Car Payment ($400) Car insurance ($150) Health insurance ($300) Food ($400) Gas ($300) Cable/TV/Internet ($100) cell ($50)
Leaves you with $340 a week or $85 a day to spend on oddball stuff.

I'd buy a few things, re-invest in company, live nicer than I do now. but you couldn't really go crazy.

The non geek choice:

Live at home, do cheap Hookers n blow

^ This except for the non-geek choice.

Take that $85 a day and sock it away in a high interest savings account and plugging some of it into low risk, low yield stocks over the long term. If you're doing what I think you're doing, which is SEO, I would suggest opening more SEO sites on different things to increase that income further which you can use to continuously expand whilst socking some away for a rainy day as suggested before.
