25(M), saved my first 500k in a year

I'm halfway to a million! I just wanted to share this since I have no one to share this small win with.

> Worked online part-time gigs in college during the pandemic, 2021-2023 (earning peanuts).
> Started my first full-time job in January 2024 after graduation and the board exam.
> Began tracking my savings and expenses in March 2024.
> Moved out of my mom's house May 2024 (don't worry we're in good terms naman, nasanay lang akong malayo sakanila since SHS pa lang nagbo-boarding house na ako and I decided na humiwalay ulit since tapos na yung pandemic lol).
> Opened high-interest digital bank accounts around June 2024 (IDK why it took me this long to do this).
> Saved my first 250k in July 2024.
> Then the rest of 2024, naging stagnant yung savings ko around 250k-350k. Sort of aimless yung financial goal ko that time and I might have healed my inner child a bit too much na lol so it's time to pay forward to my future self.

Now, this year, my goal is to have 1M in savings before turning 26 on October 2025.
