I like and use g*tten. G*tten goes back to middle english and was taken to America where it is still used, we abbreviated it to got.

We don't need either.
"I have" is all that is needed, why bother adding got or become?

To be happy, I don't need private helicopters,a Florida house or a yacht. I'm fine with my motorcycle,a trip to a forest in Bavaria and some lunch money.
