I understand what the phrase means. But from the looks of it I just inferred that he made a decent salary but was living in a state of squalor from what he described. I was just saying if you had increased your salary you could also increase your means of living ( obviously not by the same percentage as that would be the lifestyle trap ). However, to be fair I dont have a lot of metrics of this guys situation (e.g., cost of living, etc)

OP has reposted this several times. Other comments have pointed it out on his previous posts.
If he’s serious on changing good luck but I think this is something else.

I agree. If you take up resources to go to college and do nothing with the degree you’re wasteful.

Also excluding the potential that the babies started before marriage, but yeah, she was basically pregnant for %40 of her 20s.

So proud of you! find things that work and DON'T GIVE THEM UP. No matter how much it seems like it won't make a difference. (See people be like, I had fresh air for 10 minutes for the first time an a month and didn't want to die, weird) and I'm like CAPITALIZE ON THE GOODNESS

>5 kids at 31 wow
Not that 5 kids at 33 is that much less wow (5 kids of any sort is 5 too many), but it's 33.

As a 45yo returning student, I'm happy to hear that. I had pretty much written off college as something that I would never be able to afford, but then the state of New Mexico decided to make college free to all their residents (The Opportunity Scholarship). Honestly, I had no idea that being a career welder prepared me so well for chemistry and mathematics.

Similar situation for me; I was in college but had unmanaged ADHD and ASD. College was brutal, but now that I'm older (late 30’s) I understand myself and my abilities better, and I'm doing great and should hopefully graduate next year.
It’s never too late, some things just take extra time.

The only impressive thing here is the graduating part, everything else seems reasonable or too young.

But that's all the phrase means. To live with expenses that amount to less than your income. How FAR beneath your means you decide to live simply equates to how much you're able to save.
