Natalie Baddour, 26, Saves $300,000 by Banking Over Half Her Chewy Income

Summary
$300,000 is what Natalie Baddour, 26, says she has amassed by saving more than half her pay from a merchandising job at Chewy, including proceeds from selling company stock.
Fort Lauderdale's spending temptations have not changed her routine: she lives with a roommate, cooks at home, rarely goes out and drives an 18-year-old car.
Baddour frames those trade-offs as a long-term security plan, making her an example of the Gen Z "retirement-maxxing" trend focused on aggressive early saving.
