Kinda same. Still no partner, but just hit my 40s and after decades of retail jobs and temp gigs and whatnot, finally got a job that pays far better. It's like night and day. I won't say I'm exactly where I _want_ to be but I bought a house just before the pandemic and feel _so_ much happier with financial security.

Anyone who says "money can't buy happiness" is full of shit. When you're already rich and getting richer it means little; when you're going from paycheck to paycheck to being able to afford your hobbies with ease, a weight is lifted.

Which is why I'm such a big proponent of fixing wealth inequality because it's bullshit how many of us are struggling during a period of record profits. I mean I was before, but now after having personally experienced the difference? I can't overstate it.
