— What to do if you’re a young, single homebuyer – Ellen James Martin (DIERSEN: Back in the “good old days,” that is, back in the 1970s, I bought a new town home in University Park in 1972 when I was single and 24 years old. I had worked for IRS just over a year and IRS had just promoted me to GS-9, currently $55,905/year. I worked part-time for the Firestone Store in Chicago Heights. I took graduate business courses at Loyola. I owned a 1972 Chevy Corvette and a 1962 Chevy BelAir. My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes stress that if I had not avoided the draft, I would not have been able to do any of the aforesaid and I would not have been able to graduate debt-free from NIU in 1970, buy a new 1969 Dodge Charger SE in 1968, or buy a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442 in 1967.)

From what I see, if you are a White male federal employee, according to the federal government, you are “not worth the cost of training” if you do not make GS-13 by age 25, GS-14 (currently $113,920) by age 30, GS-15 (currently $134,000) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service (currently $164,200) by age 40.)
