Of course! A large portion of it went into the market, with great returns. Maxed out 401k, IRA, paid off my school loans, etc. Pandemic time was sweet financially, honestly.
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.
