[ thread ] what are your biggest wins this year?

First time cash flow from investments is greater than salary.

Made switch got 350% hike excluding RSU, annual hikes were not beating inflation till then. RSU went up by 45% so far.

Made first international trip sponsored by Company. Got chance to do WFH to enjoy the company of new born.

Year of Happening.

1. Went from 60 lakhs debt to 1.5 Cr net positive.
2. Lifted iron on 120+ days, want to hit 160 by year end. More than excited to see what my body is capable of.
3. Got laid off, got cheated on in a span of 15 days, which mentally destroyed me .
4. Increased my salary by 18X.
5. Became a Director of a $4B company at age of 25.
6. Bought a loan free 3Bhk in Gurgaon.
7. Quit my addictions of weed and women.
8. Had 5 fully paid foreign trips(met Sam Altman 1:1)

I got really humbled as I am writing this, as never in my wildest dream I imagined this year to be such a roller coaster. Life took some people away and luck gave me great opportunities, perfectly balanced as all things should be. 7 years of sleepless nights are starting to pay off 🤞🏼🤞🏼
