[quote=Anonymous]Got a "big" (for me) salary bump when I was 28 (from 40K net income pay to 80K net), kept the exact same lifestyle, cheap rent, cheap vacations, cheap clothes (my DH didn't get a bump so it was prob easier to live the same way), I saved 70% of my income (~250K in 4 years). And now at 32 I am debt free (apart from mortgage), bought our (used) car cash, bought our home thanks to a 20% downpayment and I am financially in a good place to welcome our baby due in a month :) When I compare myself to the people in the thread "HHI,Networth and debt" I know I am very far, but given where we come from and our careers (NGO/public) I am very happy of the way we managed those 4 years [/quote]
