I never understood what it could be like to actually grow wealth until relatively recently. The idea that I could have money beyond what I need to pay bills for and a little bit extra "just in case" has been foreign to me.

And now I'm realising...fuck that. I can have 6 figures in cash just sitting there in less than a decade without too much hard work, if I'm smart. That was eye opening.
Yeah, it really is freeing. It's amazing how well passive investing in low fee index funds works. You don't even have to be a financial genius or anything. I'm not sure if that's what you're investing it, but that's my preferred investment vehicle. It kind of blows my mind too.
