re: Millennial baws, how you hanging on?

I'm 34 as well and in the same boat. Took a job out of college in a field related to my major, but it was also in a very poor part of the country. The cheap cost of living help to stretch my salary, but I lived well within my means, saved early, paid off debt fast as possible etc. As jobs changed and salaries increased I stayed this course and we're sitting well. Until it all comes crashing down in 24.
