[quote=Anonymous]From ages 22-24 we both worked two jobs and saved every penny from second jobs. We saved $15k this way. At 24 when we were making $65k/year combined, we put 5% down on a house in a terrible neighborhood that cost $250k. It was tight, but we did it. Then we each went to grad school and increased our income. The neighborhood has improved, and so have our careers. Now we make $155k/year and have a house worth $500k. We had no family help. Our advanced degrees are in social work and education. Our salaries are mostly topped out now.[/quote]
