I hit 40k in savings after three years of not being in school.

I left a state university in 2021 and started working full time at a print shop. I just checked my bank account and the number really hit me. I was putting away about a grand a month by living with roommates and not having student loan payments. It matters because for the first time, I don't feel behind my friends who graduated. Has anyone else hit a money goal that made dropping out feel okay?

Keep that cash safe, don't blow it.

Nice! Honestly, that feeling of catching up is huge (way bigger than any diploma on a wall, sometimes). You built real security, and that's a win no one can take from you.
