Lol @ 26 k

I paid 27 thou student loans, dropped 20 thou for a house for my family and paid off a 25 thou wedding within 5 yrs of graduating.

And I was under employed/volunteering/interning the first 2-3 yrs

And I hit up Vegas 3 times, new York, Boston, Italy, countless Canadian trips etc

And I'm not really ballin like that either

It's just common sense self regulation

That's great for dude but that's only 26K. It's not hard to believe he paid that off in two years while working a full time job.

I was straight up making 40-50 k my first 5 yrs after graduating

Now I spent most of that time at home with the fam, but I was co tributing to rent etc

I just made it a point to bank at least a grand a month, eventually it became two grand a month I was saving. I' worked a second job for years in those days, bartending and serving part time

I still don't make "alot" of money (hence why I wanna go back to school), but even know I try to save every month

i'd rather pop bottles and spend that money on going out / networking, end up landing a way better job , confidence thru tha roof, and enjoying myself, but hey...... to each his own :yeshrug:
