My boyfriend and I are having some money issues. WE both have good jobs ( I am a teacher in a good paying district, he does some technical work) and both make around the same salary. We put away 50 dollars each a week, so about $400 a month, into an account. He has an apartment right now, but we are looking to get something together.
My problem is this, I feel like no matter what, we can't save enough money! I have friends who have bought houses and are doing great, but I feel like we can't afford anything!
We are pretty young, so we go out once a weekend, and sometimes twice. When we're out we don't go crazy, but I do enjoy the down time. I feel like the only way we can save money is to stay inside, do nothing ever, and save all of it!
I guess my question is how do you afford stuff! I am panicking because I feel like I am 24 years old and will never be able to afford a house or kids or anything. Please help!
