I'd be interested to see your (or anyone from that article's) monthly spending/expenses and income. Do you have crazy medical bills or student loans that you can't avoid?

Do you budget your money out and track every transaction? It sucks to be in that situation, but there are always things you can do to improve it.

I've edited the comment. The part "I'm one of them" is from the article title.

Gotcha, thanks for clarifying. Congrats on saving that much too! Sounds like you're on track to do very well.

Only because I fell hard financially first.
