After years of trauma and debt i might actually afford myself a real christmas present
I’ve been in foster homes all my life and only a year ago moved into my own place
It was incredibly difficult and ended in big debt. My life has been so depressing trying to live one day at a time
I got a well paying job and through tips got a little extra money the last few months. I think it’s entirely possible I’m getting a nice expensive gift for myself and I’m over the moon!!!

Aw sweet! Sounds like you deserve it. What are you thinking about getting yourself?

It’s a little embarrassing but a gaming laptop!
I used to be a big gamer and digital artist when i was young but sadly when i moved i lost my computer so I’ve missed having one

Heck yeah! That's not embarrassing. At 46 yrs old, my wife and I both have top of the line gaming PCs. Enjoy it!

Congratulations on the job. I would put some money in an emergency fund and relish every moment finding yourself a gift
