I Make $220K A Year - And I Live With My Parents

Sal Khan, 31, moved from California to Texas to live with his parents during the 2020 pandemic. They insisted on not charging him rent. He saw this as an opportunity to build a stronger relationship with his parents, save money, and potentially purchase some properties for his future. Now, almost four years later, he has been able to save over $200,000 and has a real estate portfolio consisting of four properties across the U.S.

I wholeheartedly concur, which is why I appreciate giving an investment coach the power of decision-making. Given their specialized expertise and education, as well as the fact that each and every one of their skills is centered on harnessing risk for its asymmetrical potential and controlling it as a buffer against certain unfavorable developments, it is practically impossible for them to underperform. I have made over 1.5 million dollars working with an investment coach for more than two years

I'm 54 and my wife and I are VERY worried about our future, gas and food prices rising daily.

It's certainly a cultural norm. In many Caribbean cultures, it's considered acceptable for adult children to live with their parents as long as they're contributing and assisting with caring for elderly family members. Finding oneself in this situation, with supportive family while also building wealth, is truly remarkable. Awesome.

[@marvinbrown1717]

I'm happy to see the perspective of an adult living at home (by choice); as mentioned, there is a cultural aspect to this. As someone with a different cultural background, one that emphasizes hyper independence, it is great to see a different perspective. Secondly, I think it's great that he is able to rent one of his homes to his sister, it seems like it is a mutually beneficial relationship. That being said, am I the only one that is getting tired of this dystopia of homes as a commodity/part of the portfolio? I think too many of us are told to "invest" in real estate, but given the housing crisis, NIMBY, and inflated housing prices, its just so hard to be ethically invested in real estate given our current climate. I'm not saying to not do it, and I'm not even faulting folks that choose to, the incentives are there. There is just something that feels wildly inappropriate about our current system.

Drawbacks include less freedom for fun activities like clubbing and the constant scrutiny of others. You might feel like you missed out on the carefree nature of your 20s and casual relationships. However, there are advantages too. You mature faster than your peers, enjoying your 30s more fully. Personally, I've had the opportunity to travel to Japan, Mallorca, Thailand, and Dubai this year. Additionally, owning multiple properties and being successful as a man has made it easier for me to date and find a life partner.

One thing that Asian Americans in general do so well is leverage group economics by staying home longer (helps to have an in-tact, loving family unit also.). So much needless suffering happens when people get tossed out into the world with no support or real leverage (most lean on credit card debt and end up screwing themselves long term).

Great job; the only criticism I'd have (but not knowing the entire situation maybe there's a good reason for it) -- why does he still have college debt? That 19k left from the 22k (from 2016!) is a waste of interest, unless the rate is so low it's somehow worth it? He could knock that out quickly and be done with it and still be able to invest in more real estate. He's far ahead of most (including me), so his decisions are great lessons in managing wealth, but seems odd to hang on to that particular debt. (And I did think about the college loan forgiveness, but that wasn't an idea back when he graduated, and I thought there were income caps, which he far exceeds--being able to still make $220k/yr in TX is massive since the CoL is lower than CA.) BTW, mentioning the Costco fee is a bit digging, isn't it? It's $60/yr, relatively cheap (it's been that for decades!) compared to the savings from buying at Costco.

[@ligbzd837]

The smart survive! No matter where you go on this planet, the smart ones who do the right things will always survive...especially in America. In America, there are so many opportunities but you have to seize the opportunity and plan your life wisely around it. Too many people follow the "not so smart" lifestyle and end up in big debts, work 40 years, suffer physical illnesses, and be abandoned and lonely in old ages by their own adult kids who will by the way repeat the same dumb lifestyle that will cost them everywhere they look. Family sharing a house is the biggest cost-cutting one can make. And the rest of your income is ALL savings and Investments. Imagine a life with only a meager expense.

[@ericl6386]

I think living with parents can be a good option. He is using the savings and help from his parents to built up the networth and built wealth for his family. The stigma that living with your parents is bad comes probably from kids that can not support themselves and mooch of their parents way into adulthood. This is not the case for this man and they have a good relationship so good for them👍

[@Wisdomseeker1028]

Im Bangladeshi-American, i did the same. After 6 years of living with my parents after college from age 23 to 29, i was able to pay the downpayment for my 2-family home during the worst of the pandemic at 2.5% interest rate. Lowest my attorney saw at the time. Alhamdulilah. And its kind of like house hacking if your parents help pitch in for the mortgage, and on top of that, i dont ever need to hire daycare when my wife and i work.

[@DamonWarmack]

I came to the comments to say the same thing!

[@michaelhuang3767]

not sure what his interest rate is on his loan, but if its under 4% interest, there's no reason to pay it all off because you have high yield savings accounts paying you 4 - 5% interest to hold your cash there; for me i have 2.5% interest rate, only like $5300 left on student loans, i can pay it off in one go, but why? I rather have my existing money make me that 1.5% - 2% difference and pay off my loan in a 20 year period for that fixed interest rate

[@Madrespect]

I don't even make half of what this gentleman makes, but back in 2020 I was blessed to be able to buy some acreage, build a home for myself and then build a little detached ADU/MIL for my aging parents, after years and y-e-a-r-s of saving. 😅 It was one of my proudest life accomplishments to be able to surprise them with it. And it's so incredibly nice to have them on the property with me now. I think multigenerational living is not only smart, but it's the future!

He must be extremely disciplined He’s 31 (earning 220k I assume he hasn’t been earning that since graduation and it’s slowly built up) and has 4 properties with putting down payments of 90k plus each Then he has over 250k invested/saved. After taxes his 220 is around 160k not including insurance, pension and household bills etc Good on him!!!!

My advice to everyone is this : if you want to grow big this year especially in your finances. Be willing to take risks. Saving is great but taking risks puts you on a pedestal where you wouldnt have to worry about savings as you do now. Thanks to larysa Caba, my portolio is doing really great and im proud of the decisions i made last year.

[@bigelbow2966]

I feel one Of the greatest challenges that we first timers face in the ma rket is that we end up losing all we have,making it difficult to find ourselves back to our feet. My biggest advice is to always seek the services of a professional just like I did when I ventured into it for the first time. Big thanks to Larysa Caba. I now make huge profits by weekly through her services while still learning to stand on my own.

Since I want to live longer then 100 years old, hope my child doesn't leave too soon😢 These family is very blessed ❤

[@antonios1755]

Only in the western culture is it looked down on to live with your parents. Usually most will live on their own after 18. That's reasonable if you are trying to escape a bad family situation but most people end up spending thousands of dollars on rent when they can live at home and save up. I'm 23, earn over $100k and year and already own a triplex simply because I was smart with my money. I didn't go on vacations after I finished school like most people do and I saved every dollar from my paychecks by living at home. With how expensive it is to live now, more peole need to do this.

We as Americans need to stop pushing our views and other cultures. United States is one of the few countries that have land a casual culture to push their adult children out of the house. I believe it’s up to the parents to make the determination if they want their adult child to remain with them. It’s a benefit because it allows the adult child to save money. It’s a benefit because the adult child can Assist his or her parents at any time. As long as the relationship is healthy, and the parents are happy with the adult child, it is a delight for everyone.
