For the first time ever, I didn't use some of my pay from my day-job to cover the expenses of my side-projects. Instead, softwareideas.io paid for both itself and my other project, codernotes.io.
It's an amazing feeling. Every paycheck, I normally put about $500 aside to pay or save for business expenses. Since softwareideas.io paid for those this week, it was like getting a $500 raise, on TOP of the actual profit I was able to take from the company.
This allowed me to do something really, really cool: I took $200 of profit from the company, and put it aside for the down-payment of my first house.
Thanks to the IH community for helping me to get to this point!
