But there were so many small wins right at the beginning that I felt like it started to snowball.

And then by the end of the year, Jeremy was back home and it was Christmas.

We were in our computer room sitting side by side playing some kind of video game.

Also, I should confess, I am a crier.

I'm going to get through this next part really, really fast.

We were playing some video game and he looked over at me and said, it has been such a relief not stressing about money.

I'm so proud of you.

I mean, to go from...

where I didn't even feel worthy to write a goal in a notebook to then like the person that I love most in this world telling me.

And so that was July 2018, one year later.

So one year of obsession, like talking everyone's ear off about it.

YNAB posted the job listing a year later and Jeremy was overseas again, but he peer pressured me from afar to apply for it.

And I got the job and now I'm here today, a very proud budget nerd.

I think I was talking to Jesse earlier this morning that I think YNAB showing me that

even like in my 30s, I can change has given me so much like hope for the future.

I'm not scared.

And I've talked to so many of you all today and people are traveling to incredible places and learning new skills.

And I talked to Jamie and I really want to take up archery.

So like money was a skill, something that I could get better at.

And like getting better at money has helped me know myself better.
