Saw a website that broke down IB total comp and average/expected spending. They said you just about “break even”. The leftover after expense balance was a little over $1,000. Is it true saving money isn’t common? I’m sure it’s POSSIBLE, but is it the norm?

Recently came across a website that said the earth is flat. I'm sure it's POSSIBLE, but is it the norm?
I should’ve clarified the website. It was one I believed to know what they were talking about. They offered advice on networking and interviewing and such. But I see your point lol
