Very inspirational read. Thanks for this. I think every culture has sort of class system still in place. Each with it's own set of snobberies and social norms. Most people fit into one clique or the other and often groups tend to form around the same income brackets. I think it's important to stay grounded, not chase after what the "Jones" are doing, and just do our own thing.
2024 was weird for me too. I spent a big part of the year accumulating some debt as well. My 2025 goal is to be debt free again. It's just an easier way of life IMHO.
Anyway, I ramble.
I heard that thing of 2024 being quite an odd year for many. I hope next year works out well for you and you'll be debt free again. I am very close to being debt free and it's really freeing to know that. So, let's manifest 2025 for being a great year for a lot of us!
Sounds like a good plan to me! Here's to 2025!
