You pay a crapload in rent and ****.

It's not a crapload, it's quite reasonable. Especially when it's shared between two people making professional incomes.

You'd have to have at least $140K saved up. We're talking about many years worth of combined income. Even if the annual income is small, over several years, it'll be fairly significant. You really have over $140K saved up? There's no way you made $140k so far in your life as a Marine failure and fast food manager.
