I started earning during the pandemic and had a sweet life. There was no place to spend money other than buying stuff from Amazon, and streaming subscriptions. I saved a lot and expected my life to be this easy, always.

Then came late 2021 and 2022. I wouldn’t understand the hole in my pocket and failed to save even okay amounts.

I got in touch with seniors, asked dad, and read up on financial hanits and markets, and I am slowly on the track to becoming a financially responsible adult. In the last 4-5 months, I have saved well.

Now I wish I had saved much more during the pandemic years. Life was sweet and easy then. Could save so much even after spending a lot.

If you had negative networth you came out ahead
