[quote=Anonymous]Why this post is garbage:

1. Most people don't have zero school debt. Just a fact. (I don't have any student loans, but most people DO).

2. OP is young and healthy. You don't stay young and healthy. People end up with medical bills or fertility treatments or get hurt in accidents. Living frugally can't erase the medical expenses if you're not lucky.

3. Living in a shared house is fine when you're 25. Not so fine when you're 45 and have two teens.

4. Good luck finding childcare for the measly $1400/month you save, OP. You can't ever afford to have kids unless you dramatically increase your salary AND keep up your spartan lifestyle (or I guess your kids can turn to being Freegans so you can send them dumpster diving, because sheesh, middle class kids expect to eat clean food from the grocery store, now?!).

Your little boho 20s lifestyle is all nice and good for your particular place in life, OP. I had a similar 20s experience.

What's funny to me is that you think you have something to "teach" others. You don't. Teenagers also don't spend much money, neither do college students! Because they aren't establishing a family, saving for 529s, paying for groceries for 4, dr appointments, preschool, private school, braces, etc. Your life does not resemble married parents' lives at all.
