I'm working as an IT Director.
We're living extremely frugally when it comes to absolutely everything other than career-related expenses, and my fiancée is covering all of the shared bills.
If you saw our apartment, you'd probably guess that our combined income is around 10% of our actual combined income. (It's terrible, but it's a short, well-lit, heavily populated walk to the Broad Street Line, so it seems safe.)

- KevinEldon 15y agoCongratulations! Way to not only capitalize on your talent, but to make sure you're not encumbered by debt in the future. Best of luck to you and your soon-to-be-wife.
- Sukotto 15y agoI'm interested in hear more about what your job is like. Would you email me to chat a bit?
- fuzzythinker 15y agoCongrats, on both finding the right gig and fiancée! For those who missed it, here's his story on how he actually trimmed his $200k debt into $100k in just a year: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2008818 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2008818
- orofino 15y agoDo yourself a favor and continue living as close to this as possible. It will be the quickest route to financial independence.
