Ups and downs for a while, but we were very comfy with her job. Then my job hit the jackpot during COVID and I made more in 2 years than she will in 15 at her STEM career.
Now I make less per year than when I had my job, but I saved up and I’m still paying half of all the bills while I look for the next thing.
