Yeah, you weren't born to multimillionaire parents. I can't believe the wealth here among young people. And no, being a dual fed couple or a law firm associate does not quite make it add up. No one can deny that there are a lot of people here with inherited wealth. There is a row of new build McCraftman homes in our area that go for about $1.8 million and the couples who live there don't even look like they are in their 30s. Wow.
Actually it does. You can definitely save 300-400k over the course of 4-5 years if renting a relatively inexpensive apartment and no children in the picture.
Only if your parents or grandparents paid for your college and you have no student loans and probably only if they are paying your rent too.
Not the PP, but both my husband and I did not have any student loans from both undergraduate and graduate school. I had a full ride to UMD for undergraduate and got into a graduate fellowship program that paid for all of tuition and gave me a 30k stipend. DH had a similar deal.
