not sure if this story belongs in /r/entrepreneur, but I wanted to share something that happened to me semi-recently.i quit my corporate job a few years ago to pursue my own dreams of becoming a game developer. and for a long while it was very tough financially. i had to be super frugal and my ex-girlfriend definitely did not like that. every date i felt like i had to weigh the cost of the dinner vs what i could do with that money for my business. it sucked major ass.cut to last month and i am dating someone new who is much more appreciative and supportive of my entrepreneurial goals. and thanks to a recent reddit post that got a ton of upvotes, i was able to sell a bunch of games online and even afford a table at the local holiday market in my neighborhood.my lovely girlfriend came out to the holiday market and helped me with taking photos, setting up the table, and just being there for emotional support. i managed to sell about 12 or so games just from the holiday market itself.afterwards i took her to a nice mexican restaurant nearby and treated her with the money we earned that day. it felt so nice to have made money by selling something i made with my own two hands and to treat someone i love to a nice meal (even though she technically did work for it) it almost felt like years of being frugal was lifted off my shoulders for that night and i felt like a king who was treating his queen. (again, she worked for it so the analogy isn't so apt)i almost cried tears of joy and probably felt the least stressed in that moment about money since quitting my cushy corporate job. i know it's just the beginning for me on this entrepreneurial journey but i just wanted to share this story.here's to many more dinners i treat my gf to! see hubwealthy.com/wealthy
