    The couple tries to save about $10,000 each month to put toward an apartment or for an emergency.

    When you’re saving per month half of what I make total in a year we’re not having similar experiences. Like who are these articles written for?

      Well, obviously those making more than 500k and wanting to live on the upper west side.

      I think I have not met a lot of people in my life who make more than that.

      Like, making 100k would be good, what do you have to do to make 500?

        Figure it’s probably closer to 250k times 2 parents, but still. If I made 250k by myself, I would have zero money-related problems that I did not create via my own stupidity.
