What is something in the past year that makes you happy or proud? Maybe you learned something new, finally got that thing you wanted for ages, managed to make a hard decision with a good outcome. etc etc.

No pressure to share if you don't want to. Hope you all have a good new years eve :)

Held a job for more than 6 months because after 23 years in the workforce I finally found one where the pay is equal for the level of work I do, which is next to nothing on both fronts. ($20/hr)

So while I still can't afford groceries, at least I'm not busting my ass while being poor at the same time anymore. All I do at my job is sit in front of a computer, take screenshots and then upload them, so now I'm just poor.
