Martini--sounds like my daughter & son in law--shes a professional head hunter ( college presidents, deans, etc.) & son in law is in D.C. ( not sure what he does--, not discussed); they rent a townhouse in Alexandria--no debt, save like crazy--do have grand, age 4,  in private christian school, about $12k /yr.--but all used furniture, rent their clothes on line, have no cable, dont do social media--both have advanced Doctoral degrees from UA and Vandy--only luxury is a Carolina skiff they take to Chesapeak Bay; their life is the grand, church and church dinner clubs; at this pace, both are 34, i expect them to retire at 52. Thankfully my other daughter, age 32, single, microbiologist is cut from the same cloth. I taught them in the 10 th grade about saving, checking, the risks of credit cards & debt, and the importance of saving and importantly, pay bills & maintain a  good credit rating--neither had an ATM card until after college
