For weeks I kept catching 9898 everywhere – digital clocks showing 9:08, phone batteries at 98%, receipts totaling $98.98. Started feeling like reality glitching, you know? Decided to dig into this angel number thing properly.

My Investigation Steps

First I grabbed my worn-out journal and scribbled every recent 9898 sighting with timestamps. Noticed they spiked whenever I procrastinated on job applications. Coincidence? Maybe not.

Then I did deep dives into spiritual forums (those late-night rabbit holes, right?) Common themes popped up:

Financial shifts – ironic since I’d been avoiding banking app notifications
Ending cycles – made me realize I’d worn the same ratty sneakers for 3 years
Soul mission stuff – cringey but remembered my abandoned photography portfolio

The Experiment Phase

Instead of just reading interpretations, I tested them:

• Cleared my debt avoidance: opened all unread bank emails (ouch) and negotiated one bill down 15%
• Literally burned old college notebooks during full moon – symbolic “cycle ending”
• Uploaded 10 new photos to my dormant portfolio site while 9:08 glowed on my oven clock

Weird Synchronicities

The wild part? Three days post-experiment:

That photography account got freelance inquiry

My tax refund came $98 over estimate

Found perfect new sneakers… you guessed it, $98.98 marked down from $150.

Conclusion? Angel numbers work like spam filters for your subconscious. 9898 wasn’t magical – just a cosmic elbow jab saying “HEY! Handle what you’re ignoring!” Still keep the journal though. Saw it twice while typing this.
