Today is this first day of my nearly 3 decades of life that I have 1000 USD in savings.

I got my tax return today and it went straight into BTC. I'm still pretty new at the whole Crypto thing, finally taking a deep dive and learning as much as possible in early February of this year after trying to trade to make fiat in '17 and' 20. I see it totally different than I did before, and am now a firm HODLer.

I know $1000 isn't much but this feels like a big accomplishment for me. I've never been good about saving money, simply content with working and living paycheck to paycheck. When that stimmy comes you know right where it's going.

I'm thankful for this sub despite being a lurker. This is a cool community with plenty of users that will remind you not to fall into FOMO, be careful what you invest, and beware of scams.
