2023 was the best year for me in a long time. Got a neat promotion and a marry-worthy partner :)

[-] Kystael@lemmy.ca 26 points 10 months ago

Did your promotion exceed inflation by a nice margin?

[-] 520@kbin.social 21 points 10 months ago

It really did! It's a decent boost to my savings for sure

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!

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.

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