What is a long-ago financial setback from which you have still not yet fully recovered?

 

(The tilde scare of 2017 was pretty bad for me.)

    I cannot claim to have anything as witty as the tilde scare.. I studied for the last 5 years. In order to complete the qualification I was taking, I had to reduce my hours at work again and again. I dropped to half my hours, then dropped 6 more, then dropped another 4. That was a real dampener on my income. It was necessary but very hard and I am still nowhere near to recovering but I am heading in the right direction

      I hope you make it through to the end as soon as possible, my friend.

      You could have (or should have) seen that one coming and avoided it. I’ll bet the cats are the ones behind it all.

    Disc collapse. My life savings were tied up in the house.

    I guess I have been fortunate to have not had any financial misfortunes.
