    On paper I make around 70k, but with overtime and bonuses and field work it’s more like 85k. This is the most I’ve ever made in my life.

    I split my bills three ways with my fiance and a roommate. We live in a LCOL city and I bought a big old 1800 sq ft home during covid. Our mortgage is $860, so with utilities each of our expenses out the door is like ~400 per person. I have no debt other than the mortgage.

    I’ve been banking cash to slowly renovate the house myself. Life is good.
