Quote: Twenty years ago, when we had no kids, I was knocking down $160K/year and we still lived paycheck to paycheck....Right now we’re close to bankrupt. I don’t know what we’re going to do if we don’t get that old house sold pretty soon.
ZB , 20 years ago I was making $21K a year and saving a little money every paycheck. I don't net much more from the business now and BB was making $10K a year working part time. It can be done.
You have to earn money, pay the taxes, put some in savings and investments, then spend. 36 years ago, I put some money in an investment and for each $1 I put in, I now have $25. Nothing fancy about the investment it was the time and rolling the dividends back into the fund that made it grow. I think the financial people call the practice the "time value of money and compounding interest.
BTW Montana is 47 in wages. I used to know some people with a masters degree working as wait staff, it paid more than working in an area related to their degree.
