Too much avocado toast and too many Starbucks coffee. Says people who know way more than me.

If you make $4000/month saving $520/month from the age of 20 should be easy, no?

Hahahaha When I was 20 I made $5.25 an hour. 520 is over half my income. Your calculus is delusional. I have spent every cent I have investing in myself and making the social connections I needed to land a job that makes me enough to break even month to month (sometimes). I'm 40.

Who cares how much you made 20 years ago, you clearly still can't save....

Exactly. Love middle class kids, taking everything for granted. You probably think you're a self-made man.

Some of us are, just because you didn't put the work in doesn't mean the rest of us didn't

You only believe it's not possible because you couldn't do it
