My Wife's Car Needs Repair, and I Can only Nod
The engine light of my wife's car has turned on. I got a feeling it could be a gear box issue. This means there could be an expensive repair bill waiting for me. I barely recovered from last year's financial loses. I am blessed that I have some money stashed away for "rainy days". I just did not expect it rains so soon.
Until early last year, many told me that I should take life easy as my business is stable and I can afford to slow down. I never listen to that advice because I cannot shake off the trauma of financial hardship. By finding out about my wife's car problem, the fear and insecurity come pouring back into my mind. In fact, the news made me nausea.
Unlike yesteryears, I currently should have enough money to pay it off. I also feel anxiety and stress building up within me. The pain is real and it serves a warning. I do not have enough financial resilience built into my life. All it takes is just one mistake and one "shit happens" to destroy everything that I have worked so hard for.
I don't know when is "enough", but I am certain it is not now.
