If you: 
- Married or met spouse by 30 
We have been together since we were 18/freshman in college so getting married at 25 felt natural after 7 years together.

- Made $150K or more by 30 
We're close. Currently 32yo with a HHI of $280k. DH was at one job for 10 years then made a jump last year for a huge raise. I started a business.

- Owned SFH by 35 
We bought our SFH when we were 26. I worked full time throughout college and saved as much as I could for a downpayment. In laws did give us $5k.

- Graduated with zero or manageable debt 
I nannied 35-40 hours per week throughout college. I got some scholarships, went to state school, paid the rest as I went, and saved. I'm not going to lie I was young and naive and was making cash. I was taking home about $800 cash per week. I graduated with $27k in loans. My parents didn't help me at all. Dh's parents paid for his college. We both just have bachelors degrees.

- Remained thin and healthy throughout 
We're active people in general- our hobbies are hiking, biking, swimming, etc. Walk our dog everyday, run after our kids. We have a Pelaton. Dh has been training for a marathon. I do barre or pilates when I have the chance.

- Continued with hobbies or activities or travel to make a fulfilling life 
Hobbies are above. We travel A LOT, but we him exchange so it's free. DH travels for work a decent amount so we use his miles to cover flights. So we aren't paying for airfare or lodging. Kids are 3 and 5 and have been to 4 and 6 countries respectively. DH and I have been to 25+. I'm my own boss so can do whatever I want. DH works for a European company and gets 25 PTO days, 15 sick days, and 12 holidays.

We were very picky and intentional with how we wanted our work-life balance to be. It did help that we got together so young because we had plenty of time to lay the foundation. And I'm thankful to my in laws for paying for DH's undergrad. [/quote]

Where are you buying a SFH with college jobs down payment money in 2017?  [/quote]
