I’ll start: I (wrongly) used the card mom said was for emergencies for the original Kickstarter. Since then I’ve gotten a degree, started my career, partnered in a startup, and moved down and across the country a couple times as well.

    I am still alive, all my family members are still healthy and fine, so everything is good.

    I even sold some of the packages I bought years ago for ridiculous sums at ebay.

    When I backed during Kickstarter (I missed the first 10k backer numbers, but I am still within 100k) I was a department head in a pharmaceutical company (the job title would be director now), had a lot of money and 14h of work related time a day. In 2017 I reached Legatus Navium ranks.

    Nowadays, I changed my job and company without being forced to, took a year off for myself without working and work now in a different company as a usual employee in part time. I live healthy, bicycle a lot and work 15min away where I live instead of driving 3h a day to get to a company 60km away by car in daily traffic jams. I am there for my kids and parents and are more happy by far than I was, when I backed for the ‘new Wing Commander Privateer game’, that I rediscovered playing with my new co workers (“whaaaat? YOU are a Legatus Navium whale? Are you insane?”).
