Male Female

I can say there are several challenges that I have had to overcome, but the most significant one was when I ran out of money because it was stolen by someone, and I could not find it anywhere. It was four months ago, and all my expenses, my rent, and lots of other expenses were from this money, but I could not find it, and I couldn't ask anyone for help. I had to take several steps, like saving on my daily expenses, going by bus instead of by car or taxi, and doing some small extra assignments to earn money from students. There was no one who helped me with this situation, but I can say that one of my friends lent me two thousand sums. It was a significant amount for me, and with this help, I managed to get through until my salary came in. After that, I realized that you shouldn't keep your money in your wallet or your pockets, and the best way to save your money is to keep it on your cards instead of in cash. Yes, after that, I tried to be more cautious and more... what can I say? Yes.
