I felt like a failure after a single bad day but somehow things worked out

A couple months ago my car completely died on me and the repair bill was brutal. 1.5k gone in one shot for something I did not even see coming. The bad thing is that I’m literally clueless when it comes to cars so I couldn’t even counter the guy that works there cuz I had no idea what the issue really was (yes he explained it to me but I still couldn’t understand anything)

I had been saving so hard, finally felt like I had a small safety net, and just like that it vanished. I went home that night and sat on my couch for hours feeling like a complete idiot. All that work, all that discipline, and it still was not enough.

I tried not to let it eat me alive but honestly it messed with my head more than I want to admit. Then about a week later, let’s just say that I got lucky on my phone. The most insane thing ever? It was literally enough to cover the whole bill, it sounds stupid but like life is so weird sometimes Reminded me that even when everything feels wrecked, sometimes you are closer to bouncing back than you think.
