<prompt> Human: Is this normal? Im making 50k roughly, but still living paycheck to paycheck after all bills and expenses. At what age are people normally financially independent and secure? I feel like at this age, I should have it all together by now. I have a business marketing degree, no student loan debt. Im just wondering how many other 30 year olds are in my same shoes?  <response>: Where are you spending your money? 50k should give you room time save if you are in a moderate cost of living area.
