[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH was a big law associate when we bought our house, but only for 2 years, since he'd worked in the government for 6. But, we also only had one car (even after having a kid), a 10yo tv, and our house was so lacking in furniture that a delivery person thought it was abandoned so he didn't make the delivery. We didn't factor my salary into anything and saved it all. We finally bought a new TV when my BIL showed up, aghast. Nearly 25 years later, we are not spendthrifts, but not at all frugal like that. But saving during our early years set us up big time. [/quote] This is 100% us except replace big law associate with big tech lobbyist. Glad to hear it gets better as the savings accumulate![/quote]
