Won't say what I make, but it's worth about $40k in 2019 dollars. Graduated in 2016 and only hit my major's claimed starting salary when the dollar devalued lol

I bought a small "cheap" house in a shitty Mexican neighborhood this year. Mortgage and taxes eat about half of my take home. I am taxed without mercy for being male, unmarried, and childless.

Car paid for. At least four retirement accounts with three digit balances from different employers, being slowly eaten by fees. Enough HYSA savings to eat a job loss for six months or so. Gotten the boot from enough jobs that I basically expect any given Friday to end in an unemployment application.

Zero dollars in the stock market. It was driven into me that I needed to be responsible and save cash for catastrophe expenses and job losses instead of "gambling". Should have been maxing out credit cards for stonks.

I live alone with my dog and spend most of my disposable money on guns, ammo, gear, training, competition, preparedness, etc.

My life is half over and financially I'm where my parents were at 22.
