How did you save up 100k so fast? What’s your salary?

Congrats! And is that the personal capital app? Nice choice!

Equally curious how you went from c. $78k from Dec20 to $100k in Mar21. That would imply you pulled in $20k AFTER taxes, AFTER living expenses, AFTER any loan payments, at the age of 23. Any explanation for how you did this?

Bonus def helped, but I’m fortunate in that I got a full ride to undergrad so no loans, and broke my lease last year to stay with family so no rent

My boyfriend lost his mother few months ago. It was very unexpected. How can I support him going forward ? He talks way less as he’s slowly realizing she’s gone and he’s very sad. I don’t know what to do beside being there for him and giving him space when needed. He said I’m very supportive but I’m a bit scared this will affect our relationship as a couple on the long term. Any advice is appreciated, thank you.
