<p>I guess working in IB and then a HF that I had more substantial savings than many. At the time, I thought I was about average considering that 1/3 of my MBA class didn’t take out any loans at all. With rising costs, it appears this figure is more like 1/5 now. If someone averages $50K a year for five years, I would think they would at least be able to save $60K in five years.</p>
