Since 2016 was 10 years ago and this whole online throwback trend is going around, I felt like asking. In 2016, I finished 3rd grade and started 4th grade. Fast forward to now, I graduated high school last year, started a distance learning bachelor’s program, and I’m 23 weeks pregnant with my first child, due in July.
Then: Recently laid off from a supervisor position by Verizon because “only paying commissioned sales people = more revenue and less expenses”. Living in a little house with a constantly flooded basement with my wife and three kids. On Reddit. Bad credit.
Now: Working at a job I enjoy at the local college and living in a bigger house with a new wife, three kids and two stepsons. On Lemmy. Good credit.
