CLS cost of attendance - $91,540 per year

http://www.law.columbia.edu/financial-aid/costs-and-billing/costs-budgeting

So you start $275k in the hole, plus compounding interest.

You will be at zero by the end of year 4 or so. 5 years of biglaw savings post-tax minus NYC expenses (assuming you last 9 years) with compounded gains is like $600k if you live like a miser. Sorry friendo.

OP is dumb but it is extremely frustrating looking back over a decade plus and millions of dollars earned and thinking about where that money went and what I have to show for it. After the enormous sum of federal taxes, the most frustrating thing to think about is how much money I handed over to rent seeking landlords and bankers. If I total up all the personal indulgences like eating more expensively than I could've or the occasional splurge purchase or nice vacation it's all a drop in the bucket compared to the hundreds of thousands I paid to live in a halfway decent dwelling. And it's even more infuriating to know that my generation will never have the opportunity to profiteer in the same manner because fucking boomers decaying corpses will end up flooding the market and depressing the real estate prices for decades in their final act of intergenerational warfare.

(me at 25)

I went down a very similar path but couldn't survive biglaw and went to a smaller firm. I'm thrifty but life in a big city is expensive, especially if you want to date and have a social life. I've managed to stow away over 500k and I've got a few years before I reach 35. 1.5 million by 35 is really tough for someone going down the standard elite law school to law firm path. I dont know of anyone who's done it.

Live as cheaply as possible. Brown bag your lunch every day, own only one suit, studio apartment in the cheapest neighborhood close to work, dont own a car and bike to work, never eat out or drink alcohol. All these things will improve your life as well.

none of that shit matters. Penny pinching doesn't get you to $1.5m. All that matters is the loans you have and if you get lucky with RE or stock market and earn some more income that way. Biglaw income alone won't get you there, even if you live at home and your parents pay for all your food.
