[quote=esmith]High-income people can live frugal too. It’s one thing to make 3500/month after-tax and save 500/month, it’s another to make 7500/month and save 4500/month with the same standard of living.

I know they can and I know some of them too. That’s why I said it won’t be as easy as if you make more money. If you want to make more money, go get an education. If you don’t want to do that, work 2 jobs. If you don’t want to do that, well, stop whining. I’m just saying it’s very doable to save if you put your mind to it. I want a $1M house. It won’t be easy for me, but it’ll be easy for a guy making $1M/year. Does that mean I should get some assistance because it’s hard for me to save $200k+ for a down payment?
