    Yeah it’s unlikely. Saving 1-10% assumes you’re making a livable amount of money with a bit extra, versus living paycheck to paycheck even after cutting all but the most vital expenses. (Ed- and not in significant debt)

    Things were a lot different when I was in my 20s compared to now. A single job at an hourly wage used to actually be almost doable.
