Lord help me, I got into this gig late (late 20’s). It’s not that hard if you save and marry someone who has similar habits.
Xist. At that level you’re doing better than the vast majority of Americans who’ll be working forever. (Yeah. WE’RE there. Don’t **** off your spouse. Join a gym and don’t cheat. Buy flowers. Go out to eat. ).
The rec here is get an airline job in your 20s-30s, live like a pauper, invest it all in real estate and spend half your life dealing with broken toilets and evicting bad renters?
Why? You’re not going to be Musk, Bezos or Gates. This ain’t that career.
Live under your means. Invest prudently. Don’t divorce. You’ll do fine.

As an early 50 year old now, it’s depressing beyond belief to think that $3-5 million saved NOW won’t be enough to sustain expenses between 62/65-death/death of spouse. Lord help me, I got into this gig late (late 20’s). It’s not that hard if you save and marry someone who has similar habits.

ALWAYS better to divorce than live with a ****ing ***** the rest of your life. What's that worth?
