[quote=Anonymous]Some are choices, others were luck and privilege. - Going to undergrad on a state scholarship. - Parents paid for grad school and related living expenses (out of state in a high COL city) because undergrad was very cheap. - Getting said graduate degree (Master's in Nursing). - Moving to DC and starting work ASAP when other cities weren't hiring new grads. - Starting to invest in low-cost index fund before the recovery took off. - Living frugally, below my means, buying fewer/better items instead of more junk, and buying secondhand most of the time. - Getting a lottery seat in a good DCPS for PK. I say this having paid over $15K for preschool in the past year. Something I wish I had done in hindsight: - Bought a house in DC 5-7 years ago. Don't know if or when we will buy here.[/quote]
