Occupation: Auditor
Industry: Government
Age: 26
Location: Austin, TX
Salary: $60,000
Net Worth: ~$210,000 (savings: $55,000, employer retirement account: $5,000, trust fund: $150,000. The trust fund is a guess — I don’t personally have access to it yet (my dad is the executor until I’m 32), I just know the amount changes frequently because it’s tied to the stock market. I get an annual payment from it that’s dependent on how my taxes shape out. This most recent payment was about $11,000 and went straight to my savings. In fact, I put everything in savings to start and withdraw money as I need it.)
Debt: $0 (very lucky to have had my parents pay for most of my education and I received my dad’s used car as a gift)
Paycheck Amount (biweekly): $1,818
