It was a role that was a really good experience for me for maybe one or two years, but there wasn't really an opportunity for growth.
There wasn't any stepping stone to the next role or position, and there also wasn't a lot of room for salary growth.
So that was a moment where I was like, hmm, let me reevaluate and see if I can find another place to be or remove myself from this and give myself some time to figure out what I want next.
And I want to be really honest, this fund, like a part of it might be for my career, but a lot of it is just for any life situation.
And the way that I've been thinking about it is I never want financials to be the reason I stay in a situation.
It's felt like there hasn't been a lot of stability in our lives.
We have layoffs often.
A lot of us can't afford to own a home ever.
Rents are constantly increasing.
And my generation has more student loans than the generation beforehand.
This isn't necessarily about like loosening the financial chains, but it's more about creating a separate bucket to fall back on in case something happens or in case things aren't panning out the way that we want it.
Well, there's an emergency fund, which financial planners will always say three to six months of your life expenses.
And then there's
Your fund fund, which you can shrink and grow based on how much you're making and what your life expenses are.
And then there's this fund, which is not the health emergency, not there's a family emergency fund.
But this fund is something long term still isn't working and I need to figure out how to change that.
And so that might be things are OK in stasis, but maybe I want a career change and I need to go back to school.
And then so you have this fund that allows you to jumpstart that change.
The first step is, do you want to do this, right?
Do you want this fund?
