This is insane.

And so we were like, oh, we'll just live off one paycheck and we'll save the other paycheck.

And then the thinking was if we do our 20s right, it just sets up the next 50 years.

And by doing it right, we were totally different than all of our friends.

Yeah.

So they were getting houses and

pools, and we're in a one-bedroom condo barely scraping by on one salary.

We're not going on vacation.

We're not doing all these other.

But we never felt like we were missing things with all these other people, because in our heads, we just were like, oh, they're living paycheck to paycheck.

And we don't have nearly as nice of a life as they do.

But if we can maintain this for a decade,

then all of a sudden our 30s become a little bit easier, our 40s become easier.

And then as you sort of age, you start thinking about money differently, right?

In your 40s and 50s, you're like, oh, I need to retire.

How do I take care of my parents financially?

How do I pay off the house?

How do I take care of my parents?

How do you see those milestones affecting people?

What advice would you give to your younger self about spending money?
