From $20/hr to $85K—did it!

A few years ago, I was barely making $20/hr—no benefits, no PTO, and every unexpected expense was a crisis. Now, I’m at $85K, and my wife and I are still getting used to having financial flexibility. We went from stressing over car repairs to paying cash for home upgrades. Next stop? Hopefully six figures. Oh, and I finally finished my undergrad at 40—master’s and CPA on the way. It’s never too late to level up. 💪 #CareerGrowth #PayRaise
