My sibling and I are about 6 years apart and the difference is astounding. They have no income, savings, and are still living with my parents. I have several kids, own my home, and have a large emergency fund. I still haven’t quite figured out what had created such a large difference.

- sepositus 2y agoIn six years? We're talking pre-COVID graduations for both of us. I also started out making $1,200 a month in the U.S military. I chose the military precisely because I grew up in a very poor area where drug use and gang killings were rampant (my parents moved into a relatively affluent neighborhood shortly after I left). So, your bullet points don't really describe my experience.
