It's a big milestone of accomplishment in my life, but I feel weird just telling family members or my online friends about it. The only other people who know are my coworkers because we all got the same raise. Money doesn't go as far nowadays due to crazy inflation post COVID and my area has higher cost of living than where I grew up, but I'm still very happy about this. I remember back when I used to only make minimum wage. All those years of schooling eventually made their way back to me. I'll never make as much money as someone like a doctor, but it's definitely enough for me to live comfortably as a single person.

Anyway, I'll delete this in a bit (or sooner if it gets removed by a mod), but I hope you guys out there have a good weekend.

Edit: Thank you guys very much :)

Edit 2: Jeez there are so many more comments than I expected. You guys are so nice!!

Oh don't worry, I'm not offended or anything! I don't expect people to know my entire financial situation and my financial knowledge from a single post! It's just that I know a lot of moneybros go ham on the "save and invest every penny" model without looking at the bigger picture. Was just a comment on that is all.

Yeah, I would be putting money into it knowing that it wouldn't really be a ROI to sell, just for my own personal pleasure. The tricky part is figuring out what decisions to make!
