This post is to celebrate our own personal growth. It is to remind ourselves to focus on our own growth and success and not the growth and success of others.
So, at what stage were you in life about 10 years ago? Would the 10 year younger you be proud of you?
I’ll go first. 10 years ago i started med school. August 2012-July 2013 was my freshman year of med school. I made $3000 that summer working as a research assistant which was pretty much my annual income. Including med student loans, i had about 50k of debt. I didn’t know what a roth IRA was. I didn’t have any money, other than what the government had given me to fund my education. And just a few years before that i was living on ramen noodles, peanut butter sandwiches and the mcdonalds 1 dollar menu.
My dream then was to make 250k+ and to pay off my student loans. 10 years ago me would be proud and would have never guessed id be a millionaire by now.
