Hi all,
Headed to Seattle for the weekend solely for the purpose of buying a beautiful peony bouquet at Pikes Place. I did have a mini panic that peonies might not be ready, anyone been recently and know if the flower folks have peonies yet?
I didnt think fire was possible for me. I was brought to the US at two years old and my parents over stayed. I have been undocumented almost my entire life until a year ago. Being undocumented caused me to lose jobs, struggle to pay for school, and live in fear. Despite this, ive worked really hard and received my masters degree. Started my retirement plan at age 27 (when I had my first good paying job out of school) and currently have 175k in my retirement plan and 75k in a hysa. Im about to turn 32 and saving 4k a month right now. I'm really hoping I can keep this up or go even harder and retire early and travel the world (something i was terrified about doing due to fear of deportation).
I have no one to share this with. A lot of my family and friends are financially strained or still undocumented and sharing this with them would look like im bragging or insensitive.
