    Friends showed to teenager me that it’s possible to live in a preppy, spacious apartment in the most expensive district of the city, and living the life to the fullest with a low to mid paying job. Nowadays, that is not possible. Working hard and saving alone is not enough anymore. Even being frugal is not enough. Pre 9/11 lifestyle (I would say more like pre-2009 financial crisis) is no longer the truth.
