How did you spend your salary in your early 20’s ?

I’ve been investing the majority of my money while living a comfortable, yet simple lifestyle. Wondering if maybe I should live in the moment more often and stop thinking too much 10-20 years down the line.

Thanks

Hustled in 20s and early 30s. Approaching mid 30s. Cruisin’ if I can, and started releasing the purse strings a bit. Nice durable goods and trips is where it’s at.

Get housing figured out to keep your steady state OpEx low and you’re golden as the rest is discretionary more or less.

Now I'm in my 30's and earn 3x as much as what I made at 25, and retiring early should be no problem at all.

Same. I’m increasing my spending with my income, but at a slower pace (and it’ll plateau before my income does).

Received a verbal job offer on Tues. $5k short of what I had said was my desired range but still up from my current salary. We set up a call for Thurs to discuss further. On Wed they sent me all benefits info. Thursday on the call I asked if we could either increase moving stipend or get closer to my desired salary. They said no, and I asked them to send over written offer and I would let them know by Fri. They then email they are no longer offering me the position and repost it the next day:

Anyone from Axtria or past employees have any idea for this kind of situation?
