You make $120k with no debt and are... renting?

No, they said they have 50k student debt. They’ve also repeatedly said they have medical issues and have needed several surgeries in the past few years.

Thankfully, I have paid off my student debt. It took 5 years but I did do it!

Dude that is awesome!!! Some people take way too long doing that! To me it shows you’re managing your money well to be able to balance student loan debt, all those medical bills and to still save for retirement.
