[quote=Anonymous]If you:
- Married or met spouse by 30
Met her at 22, married at 24. DCUM considers that reckless, irresponsible, and trashy.

- Made $150K or more by 30
Engineering degree, plus investment earnings.

- Owned SFH by 35 
Bought it late 20s, family-friendly affordable exurb

- Graduated with zero or manageable debt
Service academy, military paid grad school

- Remained thin and healthy throughout 
Over 30, it’s two meals a day and work out 4-5 tikes a week, including strength training

- Continued with hobbies or activities or travel  to make a fulfilling life
Ehhhh, hobbies include coaching kids’ stuff, church leadership, boating, and Netflix. We take a few vacations annually because we had plenty of time now to pay off the mortgage since we bought late 20s.

If your criteria are
Live in Bethesda or similar prestige zip code
Have $500k in annual (earned) income
Drive luxury brand cars
Send kids to fancy private schools 
Have a second home

Then I fail every one.

My advice is be open to meeting the right person early, commit to hi or her, and use your 20s to build your lives as one  — professionally, financially, and with your family. Being young newlyweds, and young parents, was awesome.[/quote]
