Yup, I reached 5000 in anki today!
I started this deck 1.4 years ago, I work full time and go to Uni (full time) studying computing (OOP programming and what not) and have never once gave up on my Japanese
All 5000 cards are now Japanese only, with about 2000-2500 containing media like photos or audio.
I have been to Japan twice, due to friends I have made via the internet, and have a place to stay if I ever needed
Once I finish my uni course, I plan to live in Osaka and live out my dream
I thought it would be nice to post it here, maybe to let people see that it is very possible, even if you have a hectic schedule like mine (I ever play in a band, so that is even less free time!)- I have never once taken a Japanese class, and also have no teacher to tell me where I am ability wise, but maybe those things really are not that important.
I want to make a special thank you to Javizy who is a forum legend of sorts. Thanks for the answers I received from you nearly a year ago now, and I see your still helping the forum community out, so thanks!! and I hope you stay around for much longer yet!
