Small win: my side hustle paid my car insurance for the first time

Honestly I almost didn't check my account on Tuesday because I figured it would be the usual sad number. I do bookkeeping for two small food trucks here in Sacramento, like 10 hours a month tops, and last month I finally got them both on a simple spreadsheet setup instead of the box of receipts thing. One owner texted me 'hey we actually know our numbers now' and that felt better than the money. Anyway I opened the app and saw $187 from the second truck hit, which covers my insurance payment almost exactly. Sounds tiny but this is the first month where the side gig fully paid a bill instead of me just moving money around. I told my roommate and she laughed at how happy I got over 187 bucks. For anyone doing side work, how long did it go before it stopped feeling like found money and started feeling real?
