Ever dream of repaying your parents for putting up with your bullsh*t for years? Amy Schumer just made that dream a reality.

Schumer's Upper East Side childhood in NYC was upended when her father was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, and the Schumer's small but successful business folded under the pressure.

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly in 2015 Schumer explained that by the time she was 12, things in her life went "spectacularly pear shaped." Her family relocated to Long Island after declaring bankruptcy and soon after, her parents separated.

In an Instagram post on Monday evening, Schumer posted a short video of her younger self, playing in a corn field on her family farm would later lose.

Schumer announced that she had just re-purchased the family's farm for her dad.

She also posted a screenshot from a video call with her father Gordon, as she told him the news.

Today I bought my father's farm back.
