32-year-old former Google employee: I saved $400,000 living at home with my parents—why I don’t regret it
Former Google employee turned entrepreneur Claudia Chee shares why living at home for for 12 years after college was one of the best decisions she ever made.

Wow, 12 years at home? She should have done better than $400k invested with a job at Google and no expenses. Maybe it is easier in asian families to live with parents for so long.
So why'd she save up only $400k? Oh, look at that "self care" section (section 3). She literally blew a third of her budget (one third!!!) on gym memberships, therapy, self help books, and a career coach, and "things like" that. Wow. What a wasted opportunity.
Plenty of folks with tech jobs and low expenses are millionaires within 12 years. I suppose had she put that extra, wasted third of her income to work during that time, she would be, too.

I hope she paid something towards rent!
When I lived at home for a while after high school.... every payday there was rent money sitting on my mom's dresser if she wasn't home for me to give it to her.
If she told me on the way home after work to stop and get milk or something... I stopped and bought it.
Everyone of our kids we did the same thing.... once you finish school... you start paying something towards rent. When each one of the last two kids moved out... our electric bill went down a $100 a month on average.

Last year, Chisom Okwulehie’s architectural design business, Juntero, brought in $414,000 in revenue.
But it had humble beginnings. When the now 35-year-old launched the company in 2021 with her cybersecurity specialist husband, its first gig was designing an ad for Indeed.com, which paid only $20.
While Juntero’s first sales were mostly one-off graphic design gigs, the company soon attracted bigger projects, like floor plans for small businesses. Okwulehie worked nights and weekends for Juntero while maintaining her full-time position as an architect at the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.

Well.. every company, non-profit and government grants are bending over backwards to give every dark skinned, female identifying humanoid, pulse or not, money to start a business. Eventually, something will at least break even. They've been pumping money for female/minority "owned" businesses for decades.
There is not a hint in that article that she was given money or even borrowed money, rather than simply started doing graphic design on the side and then started doing floor plans, and then figured out (because she works as an architect in her real job) that nobody was doing the 3D visualization and started doing it. I am sure it helped that her husband is in the IT world in his real job (no hint at what color he is).
As for being handed money, I have seen a lot of persons be handed something good and run it into the ground. I very recently watched a white guy inherit his Dad's company, a real, thriving business that his Dad had built up over decades, and he bankrupted it within 2 years.
Being handed something does not ensure success.
And, like I said, no hint that there was any real capital used to start up her business rather than work by her and her husband.
She is still employed full time as an architect and is running her business. Here is her side business:
