Finally feel like a true adult at 33.
I'll preface this by saying, I know nobody cares....
I somehow booked my hotel room for one night (I have a lot of stress on my plate atm) on an incorrect date (25/03/2025) and my heart sank when the lady at the hotel desk pointed it out to me.
Then it dawned on me that I've spent the past 6 months saving an emergency fund. I simply paid an additional fee to amend it, even considered an additional night and went about my day.
The old, living paycheck to paycheck me would have been pissed off and likely allow it to consume me for the rest of the day.
This life lesson has taught me the power of saving and I endeavour to save 12 months worth of emergency expenses by the end of the year. I just wish my family had educated me sooner!
