In today's society, debt, financial stress, and anxiety have become the norm in many people's lives. Not only young people, but middle-aged people are also deeply involved in it and feel unprecedented pressure. Looking around, how many people are burdened with heavy mortgages and car loans, living beyond their means. Borrowing tools such as Huabei and borrowing have become their daily emergency measures, and the salary has not yet arrived, and the next month's repayment has been repaid in advance.
A fellow of mine recently shared with me a story about his cousin. His cousin had lived an enviable life, with a house and a car, children and daughters, and his wife was his college classmate. However, the sudden outbreak of the epidemic and the loss of his job made his life instantly difficult. Without a stable income, the burden of his family and debts overwhelmed him. He did not dare to tell his elderly parents for fear that they would be worried; I didn't dare to ask my friends for help, for fear of being looked down upon.
On the occasion of the Chinese New Year, he mustered up the courage to borrow money from his fellow villagers, hoping to get through this difficult time. His fellow countryman, after listening to his predicament, did not hesitate to transfer him 5,000 yuan. They grew up together, and the trust and understanding they have for each other cannot be expressed in words.
Although this story is embarrassing, it also reminds us of the impermanence and hardship of life.
Around us, there are often people who seem to live a privileged life, drive famous cars worth hundreds of thousands or hundreds of thousands, live in spacious and bright houses, and dress brightly. However, they may not be as wealthy as they appear to be. Are there people like this around you?
This year has been the most difficult in all years. Especially self-employed, small businessmen, small factory owners. Small business owners. There is no market for the product. Utilities, fees, taxes. All need to get money out. After opening the wages of the finished people, not only did they have no money left, but they also lost money. Some people are in debt of tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, hundreds of thousands.
