This was the important milestone for me. When I started pulling in more per month then they did combined, I finally got respect.

Before this point, it was "stop wasting your time". Not that I cared what they said, but they didn't approve of it until recently. My mom telling my grandma how I bought my new car when my grandma thought I didn't work must have been a fun conversation... (my grandma is the witchiest woman you could ever imagine)
