I got engaged early last year, planned our wedding toward the end of the year. In between, I got a new job with salary more than twice of my previous job.
Now I am happily married, and after a raise my current salary is almost triple my previous job. I’m still trying to convince my former colleagues (just the cool ones) to also find new jobs.
I’ve been bootstrapping the shit out of myself, picking myself up everytime the economy kicks us into a deeper well.
Hell next year we’ll actually be breaking even at the end of the month, while we’ve been eating only 2/3rd of what our bodies require to get through the day in a normal functioning manner. I wonder how long it takes for this economy to actually make us homeless because it seems like that is only a year or 2 away.
Meeting my fiance by miles. It isn’t even a contest.
A distant second, which is still miles above anything else below it on the list, is buying a good house in a cheap (bad) neighborhood at 3.1% interest 30 yr fixed.
Using the trade skills I acquired to pay for a computer science degree, which has secured me the best job I’ve ever had. Going to college later in life was absolutely a game changer.
