Spider plants dying during big projects is the worst. My peace lily almost gave up on me during tax season, it was STRESSFUL.

Used to scoff at the whole slow savings thing, calling it a waste of time. I always wanted quick results, like buying stuff on credit just to have it now. Reading how you stuck with your plan for four whole years actually shakes up my view. Seeing that final payoff for all the small choices makes the grind seem worth it. Now I get why people say discipline beats speed every time. Might just try setting up my own boring savings account after this.
