Ebb and flow.

So life is odd.

Things 4 months ago were bleak and dire.

Lost my job of 15 years in IT.

Diagnosed with some serious health issues requiring massive lifestyle changes.

Lost my mum.

Couldn’t find work for 3+ months…likely due to my age.

Finances/reserves were running low.

Sold the stinger. Sold spare parts.

Depression was real. Anxiety was real.

Now, I’m 3 weeks into a new job (better paying), have reveresed the health issues WITHOUT pills purely with significant diet change… and using some old stock, savings, the stinger / parts proceeds and some minor inheritance, just paid off my house.

100% debt free.

I’m recession proof. Even if I loose my new job, I can survive on half my income.

Funny how things work.

Never give in to dark thoughts. Things will always get better.

Welcome back!! Sorry about your mum.Totaly agree on debt free life!! Been living like that for the past 15 years. Best financial decision.

Ah, I thought you were being battered. Blamed it on covid, tongue in cheek. Lost your Stinger on top of your mother, like an extra blow to the ribs. That all sounds like a major upturn. Good news.

 

[NS_Stinger]

Sorry to hear you went through all that shit. But I'm happy to hear things have turned around for you.

Wow! Quite the ride. Good on you for making it to the other side. Perhaps another Stinger is just around the corner.

Yikes man. Hope your thought life is doing better!

Awesome to hear things are going good. Life definitely can be a pile on at times. Mad props for kicking it in the ass and coming out strong.
