I am only 20, and have worked for the same company for 4 years.. Started at the very bottom, and have slowly worked my way up, so I make very good money for my age. I work both full-time and attend school full-time.
I have literally no expenses other than gas, entertainment, and my automatic IRA contribution.
So I save and spend a fairly large amount each month to allow myself to have the vehicle of my realistic dreams. I have a 2012 FX4 and finally saved up enough to trade-in and pay the difference between trade-in and the Raptor.
Trust me, it hasn't been easy to get here, but at least I can say I worked for it, and unlike many friends have set myself up to have a very nice savings cushion.
