Same A3... definitely don’t feel behind. Probably I thought I was ahead... then I read this thread haha. Though, I suppose “ahead” is very relative. To our peers on FB, we may seem in line, but truly against our peers in the world, we are likely far ahead

P1 - for me it was starting early and being diligent. I’m surprised at how many young 20 somethings have the opportunity to start saving but they don’t because they either don’t know better or prioritize spending. But it did suck putting away so much money when I was like 22-25. Also had to pay for a ring and put my wife through grad school without taking any loans.

I had low paying jobs $40-$50k while in grad school (life sciences) and then switching careers was tough with zero negotiation leverage or business skills. Places I worked did not even offer benefits. Eventually got traction but now I feel 3-4 years behind financially where I would have like to have been. I’m stashing away as much as I can while I can!
