[quote=Anonymous]The key is to flight lifestyle inflation and to reject "stuff". We have no college debt because of our families, but I chose a free grad school (Ph.D) vs a professional masters degree. We have one cheap TV, no cable service, and did a lot of research and planning to get into a daycare that is MUCH cheaper that typical ones in DC. I lived like a grad student for years after I got my fed job. I thought my friends who were constantly getting 3-4 drinks at happy hour and going to get takeout and took ubers all over the place were insane. Thankfully we don't have to find $1K/mo for college loans in our budget, but we still save a lot on "modest" HHI for DCUM . I TOTALLY get why some people can't save money due to circumstances, but lifestyle inflation is not a good reason![/quote]
