oh
In almost exactly two years I went from being straight up broke to...

- Started my own business which I co-own with my partner.
- Said business recently passed the $1m gross income mark.
- Moved into a great new apartment and got a dog with my girlfriend.
- Got a cheap car (i.e. no lease or anything, grocerymobile)
- Maxing out RRSP/TFSA, no debt, ~$200k in the bank which will go a long way towards a house in 5 years or so.
- Still living in Quebec with the highest taxes in the country :argh:

- My girlfriend has enjoyed a couple years of rewarding, but lower-paying, work for the last couple of years so her savings bumps us up a bit.

I've probably worked on average 60-80hr/week for the last two years trying to get this business going, and with some luck and a lot of hard work it's finally paying off.

This coming year will be dedicated to having a budget and sticking to it. I still feel like I waste a lot of money on frivolous things (beer, pot, food).
