yup

I don't think this is bad. I graduated and wanted to live an upper middle class lifestyle. I wanted to still travel overseas once a year and have money to go out with friends. I didn't expect my parents 5 bedroom house until I got married and had kids. I worked towards saving for that.

I see a working class lifestyle happening when you have kids too young and you can't afford them.
