Finally made it!
I’ve been working since I could at 16, driven by my want for stuff and the money my parents didn’t have for it. Thank god I’ve let that go. Since then I have tried to live as frugally as possible but lifestyle creep is real. Now as a 41f single mom I feel so happy and free. No I can’t quit my job but I’m not desperate for it like I’ve been in the past. Also couldn’t have made it without the support of my family who I have lived with at various points in my life for free.
