Even with no student loans (loaded parents), living at home, free food, a gas card, and if your parents don’t claim you as a dependent, at age 24 you’d have to save ALL your money from your first job, and make $40, $50, and $60k/yr the 1st, 2nd and 3rd years out of college. Not impossible, but certainly not the norm.
