I grew up in poverty. As a kid, I had potato chips for breakfast if I ate at all and remember being hungry most mornings at school.
I just got my second promotion at a FAANG in three years. I have great work life balance. I can afford to buy food and more. I invest and max out my 401k and my older sibling is now in her final year of her residency and my younger sibling is almost done with bachelors. My spouse loves me. I was very sick this thanksgiving and it was nice to be taken care of. I still have anxiety and confidence issues, and I’m terribly afraid of risk... but it’s gotten substantially better than a few years ago.
