I'm bootstrapping on 9.5k/yr. It's doable. Which means I should probably stop all this startup "nonsense" and make more working a $250-300k salary and be a multimillionaire within a decade.
The majority of people choose to eat out every meal, subscribe to a bunch of memberships they use very little, redecorate with new furniture every few years, go to the movies every weekend, take a vacation with excursion$ and so on.
Spending or saving money is a choice, just like one's diet or anything else.
- wutbrodo 9y agoI did the big company route for a few years out of college and without even trying very hard, had something like an 80% savings rate. To be fair, this was a few years ago, so rents were better, but I live in an excellent location in the heart of the city and even _doubling_ my rent would leave me with a super high savings rate. I knew people making half as much as me and spending twice as much, and I'm truly baffled as to how they managed to do so. Especially since I have a weakness for (among other things) good food and beer: even if I did it regularly, spending $30 on a good beer hardly makes a dent in the kind of numbers we're talking about.
