@SW-User A few things. My mom pushed me to save money my entire life and to not be stupid with it. I started saving up when I was 17 years old and bartended for many, many years. I fucking hated being a bartender but stuck with it for so long because I was making a lot of money. The tip money alone was often twice my weekly paycheck. A couple years pass by and I managed to buy a small condo.
When the pandemic hit a few years later, I made a lot off of unemployment. But also because of the pandemic, I was able to sell that small condo for twice what it was worth because the housing market skyrocketed in the Smmer of 2020. I saw my opportunity to sell and did. Which fucking sucked because I had to move back in with my parents and that caused a whole lot of personal problems for me. But I always choose money over happiness. I've done that my entire life. It's how I was raised. My whole family is like that.
