And because we, unfortunately, we had kind of gotten into the debt consolidation loan before we did the budget party spreadsheet stuff.

So it was just a fact of life at that point.

But I think, you know, if this was ever to happen again, which I hope that it would not, but if it was, then we would just go budget party spreadsheet the whole way and never look back.

So actually my husband was the one who found it first and I was kind of going to be jumping into one of these online businesses and the, he was like learning about it and I was kind of in the background and I'm, we were having discussions about it and I'm like super introvert.

Right.

So I'm seeing what's going, like what it's going to take for me, like emotional resources, social resources, like of my reservoir to do the online business and be like, you know,

a face on the internet type of thing.

And he was like, oh yeah, with this over here, there's none of that, you know?

And I'm like, oh, I can make money and I don't have to talk to people or go anywhere or, you know, be out in front of anybody.

Like, this is amazing.

So that kind of piqued my interest.

I don't think that you need to be that to be into day trading, but

And I just was like hooked from the beginning, like this is amazing.

So we definitely invested in some courses because I realized this was back in like 2020.

So it was sort of the wild, wild west with COVID.

Like I know at the beginning of COVID, things were downtrending, but then it really recovered and took back off.

And so you almost didn't even really need to know what you were doing at that point to make money, which is scary looking back.

When we got to the point where I was able to walk away from my job,

I knew like, okay, I really, really need to get some more training because I think before I was just getting lucky.
