Just realized I processed $50,000 in mobile payments this year without noticing

I was looking at my Square dashboard last night and saw I hit $50,000 in mobile payments for 2024 so far. That surprised me because I don't run a big operation, just sell handmade leather goods at local markets around Portland a few weekends a month. The number keeps going up every month by a few thousand, and I never track it closely. Has anyone else hit a milestone like that just from casual transactions?

Kim's right that fifty grand is a lot, but it's not like I'm ignoring it. I check my dashboard every few weeks, I just don't obsess over the yearly total until it jumps out at me. Growth is coming from repeat customers at markets and a small Etsy shop on the side, not exactly hidden.

Wow, that's a lot of money to just let slide by without noticing. Fifty grand is a serious chunk of change, even for a side gig. Might be worth keeping a closer eye on it so you know where the growth is coming from.
