πŸ‘€ guys... I'm starting to process the last 4 yrs and realize some humbling things that may be helpful to someone. And I think it's important πŸ”₯πŸ’―
Many know my story. Just a normie average momma trying to get by after a once stable income and career was promising just a few years back is not barely enough to get by now. Dreams crushed. Plans spoiled. All of the things. BUT...

I found #Bitcoin
And for nearly 4 years I put my head down and worked. And learned. And worked. And cut. There weren't fun family vacations. No amazing toys or trips. There was cutting costs and accepting being flat out poor. Living as such. Back to 20 ur old car. My kids did not gain access to the things in life that their friends had etc etc.

With all those things aside, some of those cuts went into psycho daily or weekly stacking. About 10% or so of my income. Not enough to have done much else with, but over 4 years let's say that was the equivalent to close to half (1/2) of 1 years income.

Stay with me. Over 4 years time I could pinch pennies every freaking day and make hard spending and budget decisions and set aside what adds up to HALF of one yrs income. And do you know what?!?!?! Because I put all of that into #BITCOIN throughout this full cycle, up and down and up again.... it has turned into nearly two full years of income. That's. 0.5 to 2.0. Those lil dollars would not have gotten me much in real time... I'd likely have spent on random things or one or two long weekends, birthday etc. But now.... because of these lil bits I've gained back two full years of time and effort and value from what would have been a few sweaters and jeans or shoes or daily coffees or some dinners out or new couch yada yada. For real... our couch is held together with duct tape 🀣

Seriously. I do not make a lot of money so the actual figures aren't impressive to most well off or very stable people, but....
Damnit I'm gonna cry...

Ok feck it, onward...

but... think of that freedom those extra two years gives a person who had zero savings or retirement to start with. Think of that daily stress becoming somewhat lifted. Think of the emergency I can face if needed, the burden I won't place on my kids as much as I age, the incentive to KEEP GOING. πŸ”₯πŸ™Œ

It's the years you save on the back end. It's the hope in looking forward. It's finding even one single thing in life that is truth and won't screw you over. It's freedom. It's proof that even 10 or 20 or 50 bucks at a time every day, or every week actually CAN matter. It CAN get you somewhere because the vehicle is truly impeccable in its very nature.

πŸ™πŸ™Thank you to all the true amazing bitcoiner plebs who've been there, taught, Podcasted, shared, hung around, listened, yelled, cheered, and remained consistently and unapologetically toxic. I love and respect y'all SO very much. 🧑🧑🧑
