My first boss told me that when he finished his degree in the late 60's he got married and bought a house worth 3x his starting salary. When I graduated, there was nothing but the most meager of trailers available for 3x my starting salary, and to find that trailer I would have had to move at least 300km away from where I was living. I spent most of my time away working so I didn't get around to buying a house until I was 30.
Right now, the main component to my retirement plan is to coach my wife about unnecessary spending-it's a difficult task but will pay dividends if successful. |
When you figure out the key to this one, let me know. I think most guys would be interested in the answer.
