It's not conventional but I hope it's welcome I just got promoted to within spitting distance of my early career goal to hit 6 figures in my 30s. My parents raised me and my siblings on an income less than half of this, so it makes me feel good to see concrete proof that I'm breaking the cycle of poverty for my family. Samuel L.

When I got a promotion from "able to just barely keep above water" to "holy poo poo, I can take a vacation and go out on the weekends and have a retirement account" is such a massive shift in your life and your ability to be happy. I hope everyone gets there one day because not constantly living in fear and doubt is just so liberating. Just don't forget what it's like to be poor. Never forget that feeling. Never forget that anger. Use it to help get others to where you are.

I've heard almost this exact speech from boomers before, and its interesting to me that the only difference is that last half of the last sentence, where they say to use it to get more stuff

Yeah, going from retail to a even an entry level municipal government job with one of the best unions in the country, its loving wild all of a sudden having enough money to afford to pay rent, buy groceries, put money into retirement and still have something to gently caress with afterward is insane. It took me over a year to finally start putting money away because I was never conditioned to put something away because I never had it.

Yeah, I didn't get a government job, but my first and subsequent computer toucher jobs have been like this. It hosed me up a bit making more straight out of college on my first entry level contract gig than my parents ever made, combined. I still spent years failing to understand the level of comfort and security I had, and being ultra paranoid about my financial situation, and didn't really totally overcome that until relatively recently. It still feels loving weird to me that I have retirement investments, a 401k, etc and money to help out my friends and family when they've needed it. My parents could never have dreamed of that.

Code Jockey posted:^^^ absolutely I used to ask my brother all the time to lend me something to get me by until the next payday, now I think I overdo it when I treat him and his kids but I felt like a loving bother for years. Whenever I loan something to him I don't even care if I get it back. That's not to say I'm balling over here, I make ok, but just being able to afford something or give a little to family after all my bills are paid still feels super alien to me.

WTF no, I got a new job, and the new job pays 70% what the old one did and to be fair, its unrelated to coming out since I didn't discuss that with them til after I accepted the job

I wish I could be a computer toucher, I even studied programming unfortuantely that's where I discovered that it was boring, perhaps some of the most boring poo poo I've ever tried, so I gave it up But the money is so good nowadays as a computer toucher, and I can never make as much in my current field

Well, we just took our frequently sad lil rescue dog back out to the woods and he had a blast. He's a Lhasa apso, so a shortlegged, hairy non-rugged puppo, but he fuckin loves to roll in weird stuff, paddle in lakes and smell every weird thing there is to smell. It was just lovely to see him be a big ol gross dog enjoying all the stinmklyness available. He's so tired now, but he had a great day

My very dainty and precious land walrus dog loves stinmklyness too. She's ancient and blind, frequently acts like the world is ending and nothing is sacred anymore. And then she finds a gross puddle full of tadpoles and she's a puppy for a while. It's so grand.
