[quote=Anonymous]We spent our 20s in school, with very low-paying jobs, and saved enough to pay for a downpayment on a home when I turned 30. We lived VERY frugally to achieve this, given our low incomes. We picked up free furniture left in the trashroom by other residents, bought cheap food on sale, cooked from scratch, never ate out or went to the movies or paid for any sort of entertainment, lived in a crappy one-bedroom (with one, then two kids)... Most people on DCUM can't even imagine living such a frugal life. And now we're living a middle class life. But it took 10 years of lean, lean living to get there. And even now, we budget carefully.[/quote]
