I'm saving up to buy property and it feels good to see progress like 6 figures in my account.

Literally 10 years ago, I only had $12 in my account and was living paycheck-to-paycheck at a job that paid $25k a year. But I kept working hard and improving myself, got a new job, got promoted twice, fixed my credit to be 830+, contributed a lot into retirement, and most importantly: lived well below my means. Even tho I make way, way more now, I still try to live like I still make $25k most of the time. I don't need much >_>

I guess my lesson is never give up. Keep improving your skills and your studies and don't get complacent. Don't be a person that just bitches about a bad situation and does nothing to take matters into their own hands. Opportunities will arise from your self-improvement and hard work. No bullshit: it's never too late to do anything >_>

Stay off the crack, drink chocolate milk, enjoy boobs, that's all I got >_>

If he makes the bricks out of $1 bills he could get a bigger place.

I just want a modest house with a yard >_> The market is so fucked right now tho lol. I'm just gonna keep saving until a market correction happens. If it doesn't within a few years, I guess I'll just say fuck it and buy something

Hell no lol, I still feel like I'm playing catch up, especially on retirement. I'm maxing out my IRAs and 401k as much as I can. I really don't feel like I have that much, and I don't have much of a desire to spend like a baller either

Yeah, that's true. It is nice to once in a while buy something and not have to worry about breaking the bank. I still limit myself with luxary items like video games, and look for sales whenever I can. Especially back then I really had to plan out my purchases for games and what not.

I'm always grateful for my blessings and I don't want to take anything for granted. I've seen those stories about poor people who win the lottery and then blow their winnings within 2 years because they don't know how to budget themselves >_> I always tried to be responsible: both when I was really penny pinching and now. Cuz you never know what the future holds.

Good stuff Neon. Im really early in my career (which is only tangentially related to my degree). Im working from home right now, so its hard to get motivation to try to get something better, but Ill have been out of university for a year soon, so I should try to go for something. Seeing other people working hard to improve their situation makes me want to do the same.

Probably about 6-7 years? Granted I started saving before my promotions, so it was slow going at first

No lie, I always hear that surrounding yourself with successful people and successful friends helps motivate you to do better. While surrounding yourself with lowlifes makes you comfortable in a rut instead of putting a fire under your butt to get better >_> A lot of my friends were successful and I wanted to "catch up" with them

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

lol, I don't see myself like that. I'm just doing what I have to do to save money <_< Refraining myself from frivolous spending, etc.

I did lose $500 in the stock market during all that Gamestop, ENZC, etc. stuff last year. After that, I'm pretty uninvolved with it now >_> I'll let the pros at investment firms handle it. Cuz I clearly don't know what the fuck I'm doing

I still do have fun with it once in a while >_> I'll usually spend $1,500 on a vacation every year, but that's really the extent of it. I still drive a 10yo car, I still mow my own grass and clean/fix my own stuff instead of hiring people (if I can do it), etc.

I don't want to become spoiled on luxury shit too much >_> It's good to stay down to earth and adaptable

He's not leaving it in the bank, he's going to buy a house. That is the point!

And even if he died, he would leave it for his loved ones/family and it would help them.
