Doesn’t matter, what’s your debt load?

Literally have friends in their 30’s who have 10’s of thousands in debt. (They’re both lawyers) It’s all relative.

Not that much I don’t think, I’m not sure about federal loans but I just have a Sallie Mae loan for 2500 and I pay off 25 per month, but idk how much it’ll be when I graduate

If you can graduate with 2500 in debt you’ve done damn well. That said, your question was specifically around how much you should have. Ideally, An apartment’s worth: aka first, last and security deposit, maybe enough for some bare minimum furniture.
