do you have this weird feeling like “I’m trying not to get fired until I do this?” even though I don’t want to get fired after it either, but for some reason I feel that pressure
I am in the first year of my life where I had actually saved some money. Doubled, I think I can live without a job for a year. But that accounts for no food, medicine, or any expenses.
I’m going to assume the “magical doubling” is totally legal and tax free. Meaning, the bank won’t come after me for the accidental deposit in a few days and whatever process added to my account also sent money to the IRS in my name to pay the inevitable tax bill. Obviously, my answer would be different if this weren’t the case.
It would make a small improvement in my life, but not much. I’d lock the extra money away in savings and likely wouldn’t touch it, but it would provide peace of mind in case things went south financially.
I’m lucky to have a high paying job and a wonderful community around me where most of my needs are met, so my cost of living is low even with two children.
Ive been working on early retirement wince the day I started my career and Im a little over halfway there :) If I could double even one of my accounts I’d be set.
