I’d been working as a software developer for four years, and depression had taken away everything I thought defined me. The corporate world felt like a prison, and my mental health was falling apart. But during that time, I found a way to rebuild my life.

With a few months of savings, I made a decision that would change everything: I quit my job.

For the first time in years, I woke up feeling happy. It was like that feeling you get on your birthday as a kid. Just genuine excitement. Mornings weren’t a battle anymore like they used to be. They felt like a fresh start.

The first few weeks weren’t easy, though. I lived on pasta and rice, stretching my savings as much as I could, convincing myself it was all worth it.

In two months, I built five SaaS. They weren’t perfect, but I finished them. (I’ve never finished a project before, btw.)

Then came December 9th, 2024. The day it all changed. I woke up to my first $39 sale!

That day, I celebrated with a homemade burger 😀 My first real meal in weeks. I was so pumped I could barely focus on anything else.

After that, things started picking up. Momentum built. And now? My SaaS products are paying my rent. Not just a few bills, but my entire rent. 🤯

To anyone feeling stuck: your setback might just be the start of your comeback.

What do I have to lose? Some money. What do I have to gain? Everything.
