@@uncomfortabletruths7990 stats show that 70% of Americans have less than $1,000 in savings, with some not even any having retirement funds or emergency funds. This woman managed to save 28k in one year to pay her mom’s mortgage on top of all her other expenses and savings. I think 70% of Americans would disagree with you that what she’s doing isn’t impressive, especially when she didn’t come from wealth and privilege.

I think it's easy for her to do this seeing how much her mother sacrifice for her. Although parents are supposed to care for their kids and be selfless, that is not always the case with parents, especially fathers. I noticed how she mentioned her mother over and over again when making sure her mother will be always cared for. She is showing gratitude for what her mother did for her when they had very little. Perhaps daddy wasn't much of help when he separated from her mom. Seeing that he gave her 30,000 toward the house only to secure his future .

She's 27. Assuming she graduated 5 years ago and assuming she split the house down payment with her husband, she's been able to save at least $20k or 20% of her gross income per year. $80k for the house, $28k for her mom, a few here and there for wedding, furniture, etc. That takes legit discipline and hustle. I see that immigrant grit and work ethic is strong in her. I'd invest dad's $30k into an ADU or in-law suite down the line tho...

Our state minimum wage is $14/hr, not the federal $7.25 that most states pay.

I don’t get it, if you do the math, with 100K yearly, your monthly net income after taxes is around 5K, so how comes that your monthly spend is around 6K?

Great story, but how realistic is to think that a person who's monthly take home is $6000 living in OC can save and invest $5000 of the $6000?
@msbelle6289
@msbelle6289 3 жыл бұрын
Correct! Essentially, she and her husband make over $200k/year and that's why she's able to invest $5k/month.

She was able to afford a home by receiving $30,000 from her dad and was able to save the remainder to by living for free or cheap at her boyfriend's parents' house. That's not statistically realistic for the majority of working-class people.

Even without the $30k they would’ve been able to afford the home. They only needed 3.5% down not 20% There are many everyday working class folks who live with family.
