Enough to cover bills, the rest invested in stocks or my house.

Was in med school, so anywhere between 12k and $50 depending on the time of year.

Worked full time seasonally since 16yo and part time through college with full scholarship, but it was still a struggle in July and December until those loan checks came in. It's nearly impossible to work during med school.

Saw on Fox Business that 44% of 24 year olds in America have $700 or less in their bank account.


I had less than that. Was making $22k a year in orange county, cali.

About $8 more than rent. 2008 was a hell of a time to graduate college.

Roughly 20k. I was making decent money 2 years out of college and was living cheap. My bills at that point were 300/mo rent living with my brother, $300 car note, $100 phone.

Then I proceeded to buy an engagement ring

I started the year with about $4,000.00 I saved during my 4 years in the Navy,ended with about $1000.00.What happened was I was in college on G.I. Bill and in the reserves and I got hepatitis so I had to drop out.So I had no income,survived on savings.This was 1974,$1000.00 worth about $5,500 in 2020 dollars.
I was in V.A. hospital 2 weeks but able to go back next semester.

I probably kept about $1000 in the bank and a couple thousand cash in my nightstand. I worked for tips, so I always had cash.

I had student loans. Farted around for a few years and earning a couple degrees put me graduating (For good) at 26. 40k savings after 3 years is defiantly impressive, but no where near impossible.

Jokes aside, if you graduate from college on schedule you're already 22. So you basically had last year and then the pandemic hit.
