[quote=Anonymous]Graduated college in 2000. Worked overseas, dealt with 9/11. Worked a lab job and saved 10k for retirement. Went back overseas. Got married and returned to US in 2006. Teaching at $36k a year. Luckily spouse made better money and we bought a fixerupper in 2008. Cheapest single family home with a garage in the county. Lots of sweat equity. Very little professional help. Never moved. Put everything else into retirement accounts and 529. Now at age 48 we have almost a million across accounts on middle class salaries. I missed most of the big drops in the markets and housing so we have been lucky. 5 years later or earlier would be a very different story.[/quote]
