Day 1300 - Day 205
This was my birthday and anniversary present from my in-laws in Canada. They are a blessing to me, and when I see these $50 bills I think of how far I have come in my path.
There was a time when this was grocery money for 4-5 weeks, and it was like a lottery winning. Today, yes of course it is needed… but not in the same way as it had been. Where once it was needed for “survival”, now it is more for the basics and for things we want, etc. In the past I probably would have spent it right away out of need- now I can be much more slow and cautious and think through what’s best to invest it in.
To me it’s a reminder that wise spending and investment has paid dividends. I don’t really buy things like I used to, and that comfort of a future and security is such a peace of mind and blessing. I’ve come a long way in my path, and learned so very much along the way.
