23 - $1,000

Grew up in the hood with no sense of financial literacy. Finally able to save some and it feels good as hell to have this $1,000! Hoping to get to $6,000 by this time next year. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Different things are important to different people. I max out my retirement contributions every year and I’d be alright for four months if I lost my current gig. I’m 35, self made and confident in where I’m at. I travel as much as I can, ski and snowboard every weekend during the winter and surf as much as I can during the summer. I drive a nice car and live in a nice place and eat well. I have a kid and kids are expensive. These things are important to me. Cool for you guys that have over $150k in savings. That’s not super important to me and I choose to live my life differently than you. I just wanted to share a different perspective here so that others don’t feel as shitty for living this way.

Also, if they do ask to show proof, is that a red flag? Or is that pretty common? If so, I imagine I’d just block out the company name and stuff like that?
