24 and hit 100k net worth today and I feel no different. This isn’t a weird flex, I just realized that money is not everything and cannot buy you happiness, being financially stable is important con.

You saw this one coming and it is indeed coming; weird flex, but okay

But this isn’t a “weird” flex. If anything it’s just a flex. “Weird flex” is supposed to actually be something weird

100k doesn’t mean much. But what’s important is that you’ve gotten in a habit of saving and living below your means and that will bring you the freedom to pursue things you really care about. My advice to you, is to realize yes the money in the bank doesn’t make me happy per say, but would you have been happier if you’d spent it? I doubt it. One day life will throw you some curve balls, having a fat bank account will help you cope with them. It’s sad in today’s society we rarely value frugality. But I’ll say it: Good job. Keep it up.

I hit 150k last paycheck I am 25. But I'm basically broke in NY metro cause I can't afford to buy a nice house

IBM 1 I think OP meant yearly salary is 100K

EY5 you’re awesome, I wish you the best of luck and I’m sure you’ll hit your goal soon. All love 😀

Pretty standard fo 24

Can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic. I don’t really agree this being as the standard. If think majority have loans so it’s kinda impossible.

Hey OP I’m in a similar boat as you but was fortunate enough to have had a fund set up by my parents. Similar to P1s response, you should be incredibly proud you had the discipline to build that net worth.

My boyfriend and I make 200K combined and live in NJ. We have $1000 in monthly car payments combined. That’s all we owe. Our credit scores are in the 800s. We have 50K to put down on a home. We have done the math and I know we can afford much more but he doesn’t want to buy more than a 400K home. I’m almost positive we can afford 500K and be more than ok. But then he starts to talk about how much kids cost and how we will be house poor and we won’t be able to afford kids. 🤔 Am I insane??
