Give Thanks! What are you (financially) thankful for?

I'll start. My daughter just turned 24 and I am so thankful that she is on the right path to financial freedom. She worked her way through college debt free and started a career, but was willing to live within her means and save rather than living it up when she is young. She paid cash for a 10+ year old Honda with very low miles on it and has already saved over $60k for a house in the 2 years since she graduated. She has one credit card that she pays off every week or so, a HYSA, and a Roth IRA. Love, love, love seeing her make good decisions. Her future is bright.

You should be proud .

 

My daughter is my amazing one , she got her masters in SLP (speech language pathology) She has paid her students loans down to half since she graduated. She just accepted a state job making significantly higher then she does now . She has 3 credit cards scores 790-805 . She learned growing up how important it is to be smart with your money only buy what you need and pay it off .

 

Very responsible and also getting married in 2026 as by then her loans will be paid off .
