How is this that hard to believe?

I'm obviously paying way over my minimum due. My share of the rent + utils is about $1800. The other $8200 gets dumped into loans. I take home 11k a month and live on 1k disposable. My minimum payment is much less than 8200 but I want the loans gone.

It is OK. Hard to really build up too much wealth over the short timeframe that you are in biglaw (3-5 years max) + loans + rent taking away half or more of it every month. I am on PAYE so I guess I only pay ~1k to loans and ~2k for rent, which isn't too bad.

Painful at first because you still have loans. Once you have those paid off and a 12-month cushion saved up, feels pretty good. But by then, you're probably a senior associate questioning wth you're doing with your life.

I was a happier person with a better life when I made $3k per month pre tax.

I do celebrate when I hit the cap on social security and I will hit it in June this year, which is dope.

Am I rich? No I'm worth negative 200k.

Can I afford to buy a lot of stuff? Yes, but I can't afford an apartment big enough to put it anywhere.

Can I afford to go on killer vacations? Yes, but I can't take off work to do it.

It does feel good to the extent that I can go to Chipotle and get guac and a soda and shit and not sweat the cost.
