You think people earning 70k can save 20k a year?

You don’t think someone could get by on a salary of $45k a year and save any income above that if they really wanted to?

Get a basic apartment, don’t go buy a brand new car or all kinds of pricey gadgets, cook at home instead of dining out, and don’t take expensive vacations. Even easier if you get a roommate.

Wouldn’t be hard to save $20k a year if you make $70k and knew how to budget to live modestly.
