I worked hard to become a nuclear power operator. Privilege has nothing to do with it. I left the house with a hundred bucks and the clothes on my back.
No, i was 17 when i left the house. I started saving on my 20’s. And yes i did save $500 a month. I’m currently 40 and that account is 1.2 million today. By the time I’m 60 it should be (unless the whole system collapse) 2.5.
So basically, you’re saying I should have had rich parents? Darn! Where was this sage wisdom when I was a fetus choosing my parents?
$125 a week savings isn’t rich parents. Get real.
Your privilege is showing. If you had 500 bucks a month lying around in your 20s, you were a lot better off than you realize.

You only had 100 dollars yet you put 500 dollars away each month?
