I was 65k in debt when I was 24. Student loans and a car loan. Now at 30, net worth is about 200k including home equity.

How is someone who worked hard to earn scholarships in high school and graduated without any debt not “self made”? Your criteria for this thread seem quite hostile and arbitrary.

Got tired of this question being directed towards a bunch of well to do kids who’s mommy and daddy pay for everything or who had full rides. The truth is most American parents can’t afford to send their kid to school, and the avg high school gpa isn’t high enough for scholarships. It would be inspirational to many to see the self mades out there who started from below the bottom

Also please don’t skew your net worth with the full value of your home or condo. Just include equity

Me: graduated age 26 with -$72k networth. Now, turning 29 this year -$40k

Graduated 22 with -70k net worth. Now turning 24 -68k 🙃

Right there with ya on that. Haven’t even made a dent

Hi Fishes,

My wife is getting transferred to California from India and she is offered 143k.

How much she can get after tax deduction and all? How much she can save after all the expenses?

She is insisting that I travel with her and get the job in the US. I'm a software developer having 4.1 YOE. How much can I get in the US? Is it worth traveling with her?

Any information would be helpful, Thanks in advance...

Let’s say you have two young, high income partners in a couple who want to buy a house together but don’t really care to get married. They already live together in an apartment but both want to move to a house to build equity and have a yard, not share walls, etc. Should one partner buy the house and the other pays rent until they get married, or should they get a mortgage together without being married? I realize there isn’t a “right” answer but I’m interested in people’s experiences here.
