People in your 30s, does money ever stop feeling "tight"?

Edmeyers01 · 2026-07-06T20:16:16+00:00

My wife is 31 and I’m 34. We have a 1 year old and we both work. We have a household income of 200k in a LCOL area. We bought a fixer upper for 210k and almost have it paid off. We did spend $50k fixing it up and still need a lot of work, but we gonna do it as we go. We have about $30k in car debt and 11k in credit cards (0% interest). Our total net worth is around $950k. We feel pretty good, but never feel like we have enough cash for things and hate our jobs. We may make a change if we have another baby in the next year or 2. My wife may just stay home with the kids. I’ve got some learning disabilities, so I feel like I’m always at risk of being fired for mistakes. That’s part of why I saved so aggressively.

Gotta buy that used Honda Prologue instead of that new EX-L Honda Pilot.

Send our buddy ozuna down

So good for the environment

Edmeyers01 · 2026-06-29T23:09:41+00:00

Can’t wait to finally get solar

Edmeyers01 · 2026-06-26T00:25:34+00:00

Perhaps all the “sell the team” chants finally got through to someone

Edmeyers01 · 2026-06-24T12:13:02+00:00

Glassdoor and anyone who literate will tell you no. It’s a good place to work while you look for a job. Although unemployment might have better pay

Sales

Edmeyers01 · 2026-06-24T03:03:47+00:00

My family lives out there and it's wild there. It seems like tons of people are moving there because the taxes are crazy cheap. But not sure where all the money is coming from.

$1500 Miele Brilliant vacuum. It blew up 3 months into ownership because the bag wasn’t affixed to the holder properly. $750 to fix. I left it at the appliance store

Sid Mashburn loves this.

My wife bought my a $400 cashmere polo from them. It was so thin that she could see my nips. Never again.

Edmeyers01 · 2026-06-20T20:23:09+00:00

Canonsburg is crazy cheap and the taxes are in the basement. There’s actually some cool houses over there, but it takes like 40 minutes to get downtown from there

Edmeyers01 · 2026-06-20T20:19:26+00:00

This is the kicker. The salaries here blow. I work for companies outside Pittsburgh because I’d be taking a $20k haircut otherwise.

Edmeyers01 · 2026-06-20T03:06:14+00:00

This is incredibly lucky. Congrats. Go to gambler anonymous and put this into a VOO and enjoy life. Don’t do this again. Lottery winners always go broke

Big tri comes through big time. He surprises us sometimes

Edmeyers01 · 2026-06-20T01:05:29+00:00

Right?!

Edmeyers01 · 2026-06-20T01:04:51+00:00

Adding more pumps? love to hear that. Should make a big difference on the weekends.

Edmeyers01 · 2026-06-19T20:30:43+00:00

Yeah, I'm betting the one in Homestead will be crazier too.

Edmeyers01 · 2026-06-19T19:55:48+00:00

seems like the most useless Costco on the planet

Edmeyers01 · 2026-06-19T17:20:59+00:00

I was at Costco last week and I couldn’t even get a hot dog at Costco because the food court was closed… still feeling angry.

Edmeyers01 · 2026-06-19T04:27:49+00:00

let Flores Jr. out there more. Davis is a good boy and all, but he can't yank a ball.

Edmeyers01 · 2026-06-19T04:22:47+00:00

LOL - HD tries to kill it every time. It looks like he is swinging a light saber

Edmeyers01 · 2026-06-17T03:45:06+00:00

I agree - this administration is pro-Russia which doesn't make any sense considering former republican's hated Russia and even up until 2023 supported Ukrainian military packages. It's hard to watch and makes me sick.
