Those two make a big difference. Ten years ago I was broke, in an abusive marriage, and still trying to work out a bunch of personal issues.
Today, I have an awesome (different) wife, a job I don’t hate where I make good money, kids that I love, and a place to call home.
There’s still rough days. Those are part of life. But I am a very fortunate man and even when I have a bad day, I remember that it used to be and could be way, way worse.
2023 was the best year for me in a long time. Got a neat promotion and a marry-worthy partner :)
Did your promotion exceed inflation by a nice margin?
It really did! It’s a decent boost to my savings for sure
Love the crab-pulling-crab comment lol
Today you will stub your toe. Twice.
Easy there, Satan
Same toe. Same spot.
That’s awesome!
In this awful time we live in, that’s all you can ask for! That’s awesome!
Congrats on both!

It’s good you were able to get out of that abusive situation and into something better. Congratulations, my friend :)

Aww congrats dude :)
To be fair, a lot of that is probably the news (and now algorithms too) pushing negativity because it gets views.
