- bbctol 10y agoYeah, it seems more like a "person with a valuable degree realized industry pays better than academia" story than anything else.
- nashashmi 10y agoPlus, for the first time she cries at going debt free, and now has decided to avoid debt entirely, even for purchasing a house. She will be buying a house soon, without loan.
- samspenc 10y agoRight, with a $127k salary+bonus, plus her husband earning six figures as well, going from negative 80K to positive 200K net worth in six years means ... 280K / 6 ~= $50K in savings per year.
