I don't know what everyone does around my town for a living but everyone seems to have a ton of money, Sprinter vans, vacations, super nice cars, and every coffee shop and cafe is full all day long with people that don't seem to be working.
Dittto. Accumulation of wealth does not require a massive income. It requires that you spend less than you earn, and invest the proceeds safely.GromsDad said:I live simply and am just about paid off on my house I bought in the 90s. To enjoy life I don't need much more than a roof over my head, food, bicycle, a surfboard and a fishing rod. If I had to I could enjoy life just fine on 40K. Making good decisions in your early 20s is the key. Buy a house where you'll like to live long term early and gain equity. Live simply and live well within your means. If you don't spend much money you don't have to worry much about the amount coming in.

It's insane how much Mammoth trips cost. My wife and I went for two nights and spent almost $1500.Kento said:Throw a few family ski/snowboard trips (a weekend in Mammoth runs into the thousands) and a solid vacation or two in the mix, I'd say closer to $200K/year, at least living in SoCal
