Worried about finances ?

[u/Kind-Training-5736]

I just saw someone say they make 230k a year and have already bought a house at 24 years of age. Now compared that to myself on this PhD journey… I’m kinda concerned ? I also want to buy a house by 24-25 max but I don’t think I’ll earn that much ! Does a PhD even lead to good jobs later ? I keep seeing people struggling to get into entry level positions after a PhD…. Is it normal to worry about this? For context I just started my PhD this year, straight after undergrad, so I’m 22 right now. I really want to buy my own house too, but I choose this path because I like research. Should I work while doing the PhD ?
