Most these articles are for poor city Democrats.
I retired at age 55, have two houses with ocean views in Hawaii.
All because I did not RENT!
I also did not buy new cars, eat out at fancy restaurants,
or spend my money on the latest Fad.
I went into the military for patrotic and monetary reasons. I eventually earned a STEM degree, not some glamorous “Feel good” womens study or liberal arts education.
Y’all need to sacrifice and plan for your future!
And above all it takes years of work before you can
back off a bit

Sounds like us — without the military aspect. (Unless being Contractor for DoD counts, which it doesn’t.)

We lived way, WAY, below our means for decades. It has worked out for us in retirement.

unfortunately, young men earning STEM degrees have some of the highest unemployment rates right now because only 'education' and state/local governments are hiring...aka fields that young women gravitate to.
