27m, my money growth for 2026 so far

The plot doesn't show it, but there should be an extra 10k there due to an ongoing transfer.

Somehow, 2026 has been an awful year for me, but at least, financially, things appear to be going ok.

I'm currently 27m, been working as a swe for the past 4 years. When I graduated college, I had 30k in student loans. By the end of last year, I got a promo, so I make more money now.

This year has been tough, massive burn out + mental health problems + substance abuse + chronic loneliness + terrible sleep, etc. I don't know how I've survived this year lmao. I literally almost rage quit my job at the beginning of the year. I'm glad I didn't because I'm up by more than 100k, haha.

I have no idea what will happen in the future, but at least I feel a bit more comfortable with my financial situation.

HELP with NYC traffic ticket for out of statr driver

So, I was driving through NYC the other day and got a minor traffic violation. I live out of state and was simply driving by NYC. I do not have a NYC id.

I have tried:

  1. Go to the website provided in the ticket, the system is unable to find my ticket

  2. Download NYC "Pay or dispute" app, the system is unable to find my ticket after scanning or after I search my license plate.

I submitted a question through the website, and they simply replied with, "If you can't pay online, the follow instructions to pay by mail".

Ig, I can try paying by mail, but it's almost 15 days already, and the ticket said my license will be suspended if I don't pay within 15 days. And I'm also not a huge fan of sending my credit card number over mail.

I have tried calling the DMV, but no human answers...

I live far away. Going to NYC would be 4+ hour drive...

I just want pay the damn ticket and get this thing over with, but it appears that the system is so ridicolously inefficient that they can't even collect money...

The last thing I want is for my driver license to end up being suspended.

For people in NYC / NY, any advice to deal with this?
