How One Millennial Saved $1 Million by Age 30

March 30, 2017 Leave a Comment

A few years after graduating from college, Grant Sabatier was unemployed, broke and living with his parents.

Hungry for a burrito one afternoon, the 20-something checked his account balance and learned that he had $2.26 in the bank.

The low point served as a wake-up call for Sabatier, who took an image of his balance and set a goal of saving so much money that he could retire early if he wanted to. “I remember having this intense feeling of honestly just … lack of control,” says Sabatier, who is now 32 and writes about his financial habits and mistakes on his blog, Millennial Money. “I never wanted to feel that way again.”

Sabatier found a job at a marketing agency, took on side gigs to make extra cash and managed to stash away as much as half of his paycheck. He perused more than 300 personal finance books. And he reached his goal of saving $1 million by age 30. (washingtonpost.com)
