Just to add to this, you want to inherit from AbstractUser so that you can use all the functions that Django has already made for you!

Yeah starting off right! Tip though - you may want to inherit AbstractUser, as hhat's the official way to extend the user model.

That makes sense. I was kinda wondering if that was part of what Django brings to the table. This was the first model I was playing with and the simplest one I could think of to practice with.

Hmm, okay. I've added reading that part of the docs to my list. Thanks!
