    If you can live with parents and bring in that kind of income, you’ve got this! When I was single making $47,000 a year, I paid off $10,600 in debt and saved $22,500 in 2 years living with my parents. Be willing to sacrifice deeply for a short period of time! I’m now married with a combined household income of $140,000 and my husband and I are building a home and put down 20%! You CAN do this!

      @AnthonyBrusca 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Universities are nonprofit or public institutions, funded not just by tuition, but by direct government funding, donations, an endowment, and sports. The only scams are the online and for-profit schools (including trade schools) and services like textbooks. Capitalism is great but there are such things as "market failure" (the technical term), which exists in the healthcare industry, the education industry, and in anything that pollutes. Basically where a market incentivizes the wrong outcome BOTH for individuals AND for society as a whole.

    • @Jdonaleshen

Thank god I didn’t borrow money for it. My uneducated husband however makes more than 95% of university graduates

      @@jamesb93612 that explains a lot . California usually pays more, on average, for most professions and let me tell you that there is a reason for it. The cost of living is extremely high in CA. If the caller lives in an area where the cost of living is lower, they are actually making the equivalent you make if not more. It all has to do with the cost of living and take home pay. Which in California for someone in your tax bracket might be about 9-10%. Some states don't have state income taxes or are relatively lower at around 4% and in most states property taxes are less than 1% whereas in California are much more higher. I don't know the exact percentage but I know people that have to pay between 4 and 10k a year. All these thing along with the cost of living in California, believe me it's expensive. I know since I've lived in many places California included. I'd have to make about 130 to 150% more in California than in most places just to have the same lifestyle elsewhere. So the way I see it, it is not a disparity in salary, it's more about the economics and cost of living relative to the area where you live. congratulations on your good salary and good job sir!

But I stashed every penny that I could which was most of them! This may have had something to do with graduating high school during the dark days of recession during the 70’s and the need to feel more secure, but it also had everything to do with my current status of debt free living.

My parents have a mortgage, and we live fairly comfortably, I would def not call it rice and beans. How in the heck is living on 60k really frugal, even if the cost of living was a bit higher? To me, 30k would be beans and rice, not 60.

    I’m 21years old. I have no debt and I only make $22k a year and living with my parents. I have $1,500 in ER fund and $5k In savings. I just bought my fist car in cash. So I was thinking if it a good idea to just quit my job and find a better job in another state?

    Don't go to college unless someone else is paying for it. It is not worth it

    I’m almost done with premed. But I can’t imagine how to pay for medical school without getting loans. Any recommendations???

      I was thinking of a radiologist. All my doctors that I work with are saying it’s on average $250,000-$300,000. The good news is i know the military has a program where they will pay off your debt. But you have to do 10 years of service. Idk if it would be worth it

      @@n.b.a1529 Work two jobs while in med school? Are you serious? Most medical students can't even have one job and leave enough time to study.
